Trust Center
• All Office 2007 apps have one
• Microsoft has consolidated all security & privacy settings to the Trust Center • See your settings here: Office Button > Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc) Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings • By default, all macros are disabled when you open a document in Office 2007 • To bypass the Trust Center, create a “trusted location” like My Documents on your computer (you’ll have to do this for each Office app)
Customizing Office 2007
• Ribbon Customizer
• Freeware/Shareware ($29.99) - shareware gives you more features • Customize/remove/add Tabs • Lets you get the File/Edit menus back (Classic UI tab)
Yay! File menu!
