How to Enable Macros in Excel 2003

The XLStart Folder
1. Open the folder that contains the workbook file with the macros you want to enable.
2. Right-click on that file and click \'Cut\' from the drop-down menu that appears.
3. Open the folder \'C:\\Documents and Settings\\[User Name]\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Excel.\' Note: in this example, \'[User Name]\' is a generic placeholder for your actual user name on your computer. So, if you're logged on as \'JohnSmith\', the folder you would open is \'C:\\Documents and Settings\\JohnSmith\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Excel.\'
4. Look for a folder titled \'XLStart.\' If you can't find that folder here, search for it in \'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office11.\'
5. Open the XLStart folder. Right-click on the folder's window and click \'Paste\' from the drop-down menu. This will cause the workbook file from Step 2 to move into this folder.
6. Run Excel 2003. This will cause the workbook file you moved in Step 5 to automatically open. Its macros are now enabled.
Adjusting Security Settings
7. Run Excel 2003 and open the workbook file.
8. Click on \'Tools\' in the main toolbar, causing a drop-down menu to appear.
9. Select \'Macros\' from this menu and then click \'Security.\' This will cause a new window to appear.
10. Click on the \'Trusted Publishers\' tab in the window and check the box next to \'Trust all installed add-ins and templates.\'
11. Click \'OK.\' The macros within your workbook file are now enabled.
