FAQ

Why does a macro not run directly after I open a document?

  1. Check whether the current macro security level is set to High or Very High.
  2. Confirm whether the document comes from a trusted location.
  3. If the document source is trusted, decide whether to enable the macro based on the prompt.

How do I enable a blocked macro?

  1. Open the macro-enabled document and review the prompt information.
  2. After confirming that the document source is trusted, choose the related option to enable the macro.
  3. If you use macro documents from the same folder often, consider adding that folder as a trusted location.

Why do I not see the same macro support on other platforms?

  1. First confirm whether the macro type is a VBA macro or a JS macro.
  2. VBA macros require Windows and the VBA plug-in.
  3. JS macros are supported on Windows and macOS, but not on mobile.

How do I choose a trusted location for macro-enabled documents?

  1. Start with a fixed internal template folder or a personal folder that you use long term.
  2. Do not set folders with mixed sources or frequent external files as trusted locations directly.
  3. Review your trusted locations list regularly and remove folders you no longer use.
