How-to Guide

1. Set Macro Security

Entry point: Tools → Developer Tools → Macro Security

1. Click Developer Tools in the Tools tab.
2. In the Developer Tools tab, click Macro Security.
3. In the dialog box, choose the security level you need: Very High, High, Medium, or Low.
4. Click OK to save the setting.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The target security level is selected and saved in the Macro Security dialog box.
• Next actions: When you open a macro-enabled document later, WPS will handle or prompt for macros based on the current security level.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: Choosing a lower security level before confirming where the macro came from.
• Environment limits: VBA macros require the VBA plug-in on Windows before they can be used in related macro scenarios.

2. Set Trusted Locations

Entry point: File → Options → Trust Center

1. Open the File menu in the upper-left corner.
2. Click Options and open the related Trust Center settings.
3. Click Add New Location and choose the folder path you want to trust.
4. Select the option to trust subfolders of this location if needed.
5. Click OK to save.

Success Criteria

• UI state: The new folder path appears in the trusted locations list.
• Next actions: Macro-enabled documents in that folder can be handled under trusted location rules.

Tips While Using

• Common mistakes: Adding a folder with unclear sources or an overly broad shared scope as a trusted location.
• Environment limits: It is recommended to add only folders that are stable and under your control.
