FAQ

How do I enable a macro after it is blocked?

  1. Confirm that the document source is trustworthy.
  2. Reopen the document and check whether a macro-related prompt appears.
  3. If you need to run the macro, enable it only after confirming it is safe, or adjust Macro Security to a suitable level first.
  4. After you finish using it, consider restoring a higher security level.

Which macro security level should I choose?

  1. If you mainly handle files from external sources, choose High or Very High first.
  2. If you want to confirm before a macro runs, choose Medium.
  3. Only consider Low when you clearly understand the macro and need temporary testing.
  4. Click OK after choosing the level to save the setting.

Why is macro behavior on Mac different from some other platforms?

  1. WPS on Mac currently supports JS macros only.
  2. Because of that, Macro Security settings are designed around the currently supported macro type.
  3. If a document uses a macro type outside the supported scope, it may not run in the same way.
  4. Check the macro type in the document first before deciding what to do next.
