I just upgraded to Word 2007 and repeatedly get this messag whether I open a
document that I previously created in a Word 03 or a new document: "The
function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires
macro language support. When the software was installed you (or your
administrator) chose not to install support for macros and controls." I did
the recommended installation.

Run ADVANCED setup and install the missing VBA.

I get the same message having just installed Word 2002 as part of Works
Suite, and have updated to SP3. I don't recall ADVANCED setup being offered,
and what is VBA - and which would be missing?

I have the same problem.

So do I uninstall and reinstall for the advanced setup? And what is VBA?
