WPS Macro Security questions usually focus on blocked macros, choosing the right security level, and trusted publisher management; this section includes 3 common questions and 3 glossary terms.
FAQ
How do I enable a macro after it is blocked?
- Confirm that the document source is trustworthy.
- Reopen the document and check whether a macro-related prompt appears.
- If you need to run the macro, enable it only after confirming it is safe, or adjust Macro Security to a suitable level first.
- After you finish using it, consider restoring a higher security level.
Which macro security level should I choose?
- If you mainly handle files from external sources, choose High or Very High first.
- If you want to confirm before a macro runs, choose Medium.
- Only consider Low when you clearly understand the macro and need temporary testing.
- Click OK after choosing the level to save the setting.
Why is macro behavior on Mac different from some other platforms?
- WPS on Mac currently supports JS macros only.
- Because of that, Macro Security settings are designed around the currently supported macro type.
- If a document uses a macro type outside the supported scope, it may not run in the same way.
- Check the macro type in the document first before deciding what to do next.
