I am attempting to open a document that has a macro I assume that was created by another person. I can open the document, but the macro won't work in it. I get a message that asks me to active or not active the macro. For example, I am opening a document created by someone else so I can type a clinic note for a patient. When the document opens, the top has a category that says Clinic/hospital =. After the equal it should say the name of the clinic. All I see is something that starts with a bracket and has something like document property/company name\*mergeformat . I can see the actual information if I click on print preview or if I actually print out the document, but I want to be able to see it on my screen. I have clicked on view normal, print layout, and reading layout, but that doesn't help. Any suggestions. I am thinking it is a setting when word was configured, but its making me crazy... Thanks for the help... Rhonda
