whenever,I open a office 2003 documents,an annoying warning noted below appears.

"This application nis about to initiate active x control that might be unsafe..."

on clicking either ok or cancel,the documents opens.

how to get rid of this annoyance.

I am using a preloaded windows 7 in my new notebook.

My notebook originally came with a preinstalled trial version of norton.

However,I have uninstalled the same after the trial version and installed the paid K7.

I hadc checked tools>security>Macrosecurity as suggested by you and found nothing.

the problem is there everytime I open a word document from my system or from the net.

the security level at tools-options-macro security is set to low only.

or do you suggest the setting anywhere else?
