[Solved] Macros Not Working Microsoft Office Excel 2010

[Solved] Macros Not Working Microsoft Office Excel 2010

Macros have been disabled in Microsoft Office 2010 , this has been done in order to keep your system away from all the vulnerable code that are present in the macros. This macros security feature has been added keeping in mind about the history of the macros viruses, but sometimes we really really need them to get our work done. In this tutorial i will be telling you a very simple way in order to enable your macros when you require them.

The macros are generally used in order to communicate with excel, as VBE uses them to do so. In this tutorial i will not be using any external tool to enable the macros but i will alter some of the default settings in the Microsoft Office which will enable the macros and then you will be able to use it. You will just have to follow the steps mentioned below and then you can enable the macros. The steps narrated below are for the Excel but they are quite similar to the steps to be used in Word.

  1. The excel window will look similar to the one shown below in the snapshot. You see can a green colored tab named as File in the menu bar. Click that tab.
