Won't let me use the macros. Word says:
Macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your macro security settings.
HELP! Thanks in advance!

Hi David,
Macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your macro security settings.
two possibilities come to mind:
- You didn't click on the Enable in the yellow bar when you opened the macro file.
[this is not the usual way to use the macros. We don't usually open the macro template file itself]. - Or you have a document (docx) which you opened that was not made with the macro file as a template. In this case you can enable the macro for your docx by:
- Click on File in the menu, then click on Options in the drop down menu (close to the bottom)
- When the options window opens, click on Customize Ribbon
- Then on the right side click to check Developer.
- Now in Word click on the Developer tab
- Then in it's ribbon click on Document Template button
- Then in the window that pops up click on Add and locate your macro file
(from here on out Word should remember the location) - Click to check the macro file.
- Now click on OK button.
(the macros will now work in your docx. Word has us do this because we did not create the docx using the template.)
0 - You didn't click on the Enable in the yellow bar when you opened the macro file.

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, I had tried both of those but neither have worked. Any thoughts?

Reviving this Thread
Steve,
I just migrated to Word 2013 working with Win8. Have your macros been tested on this platform?

Hi David,

Not that i am aware of. i will be very interested to hear you results!
i would be surprised if the macros did not work in Word 2013. But i have no idea what Win8 will do, but since all the macros work inside of Word then Win8 should be inconsequential.0 -

I tried to install them this morning on Word 2013... You have to turn on the "developer" tab to see macros at all in 2013. I can see (and run) the macros there... What I did was to add the macros manually directly to a custom tab group through "customize the ribbon;" They seem to work fine from there. It took a bit of work and fooling around to get them to work because the macro interface is so different betweeen 2010 and 2013.

Hi Steve,
Will this macro work with L5? Also, will it work with Mac Word 2011?
Thanks

Hi Ed,
Will this macro work with L5?
Yes it will, since the macro works inside of Microsoft Word and you will use the Word file with L5. So L5 doesn't care about the macro. The macro does all its work inside of Word.
Also, will it work with Mac Word 2011?
I don't have a Mac and therefore don't have Mac Word. But early on a user got the actual macros to work inside of Mac Word 2010 (see his posts Here and here). He never replied to let us know if he found a way for the GUI (graphical user interface) for the ribbon to work in Mac Word. But i suspect that you could add multiple commands for the set of macros to the 'Quick Access Toolbar' if the ribbon GUI doesn't work.
Also i would strongly suggest that you download the macros from this post to get the latest ones which also support Sermon Tables macros. Please pay attention to the instruction which are included inside the ZIP and video tutorial.

Has anyone tried this with Word 2011 on Mac? If so, can you give a simple how to?
Thanks

I had read about this a long time ago and finally implemented it, which is fantastic.
One question though - I have a template I use for writing my messages with some specific styles and page formatting. Is it possible to copy the macros into that template so they are automatically there when I start writing my messages based off that existing style/layout template?

i think you can do this by editing your Template (as shown below)
1. Open Word and edit the template that you want the PB macros to work with
2. Select the Developer's Tab
(if you don't see the Developer's tab, you will need to edit the ribbon)
a. right-click on a blank area of the Ribbon
b. in the popup, click on Customize the Ribbon...
c. on the right side of the customize window, click to check Developer and then click OK.
3. Click on Document Template icon (this opens a window as shown below the arrow in first image)
4. Locate the PB Macros item and check it, then click OK. (if you don't see it in the list use the Add button on the right)
You will need to Save and exit your editing session for the Template. Then when you open a new Word doc and use your template, i think it should work and include the PB macros.

Do these work in Office 2013?
By Office 2013, i guess you imply Word 2013 (the macros were written for Word docx's as that is what PBs requires)
The macros definitely should work, they are written in VBA
And i am guessing that the UI-ribbon probably works similar in Word 2013, so it should work too.
(even if the UI-Ribbon didn't work, you could attach toolbar commands to each macro)Somewhere in this very long thread are instructions (they were attached as a PDF)

I have tested them, and they work exactly as in Word 2010.

You have to turn on the "developer" tab to see macros at all in 2013. I can see (and run) the macros there
I'm able to see the title of the template that I saved as instructed but "run" is grey and there are no macros showing in the dialog list
Can any one who has this running in Word 2013 give me any pointers? I basically bought Word so I could use Macros. Previously I just used openoffice and libreoffice, so I would really love to get this working. Thanks in advance!

This is not really a reply, but a question. I could not find where to post a new thought.
I am using the macros in Word 2013. Most of the time no problem. But lately I have been running into a problem with the next page macro where it stops on page 3 and will not go further. No problem is a small document but if it is a large one it is not feasible to hand add each page # so PBB sees it as a page #.
Can someone advise what is the problem?
Thanks.

i have placed the most recent files for L4Macros on my host server (links are below). These were build in Oct 27, 2012.
- L4_PB Macros.dotm (the actual macro file to be used with Word)
- L4_PB_Macro_Tab.exportedUI (the UI [user interface] file which you use to add the ribbon tools to Word)
(right-click on this link and use SAVE LINK AS to download this file)
(Read the Adding the macros to Word PDF, if you already have Add-ins in Word, doing this could destroy those Add-ins!!!)
- Adding the macros to Word.pdf (older doc which shows you the steps to installing the macros into Word)
- L4 PB Macro Template Information.pdf (older doc which tells you how to use the macros [limited, it doesn't teach you how each PBB tools works, see the forum wiki page for this or ask questions on the forum)
Or here is the zipped file: L4_PB_Macro_Tab (Oct 27, 2012).zip
Did this after helping a forum member get the macros running on Office 2016
In the above reply (see Edit2 in that reply), i gave instruction on adding a Devotional macro to the L4 Macros ribbon. (that macro was already in the old macro file that i built, but wasn't added because i had not updated the User Manual (which is still not update)).
There are so few responses about my macros that i have not further supported new changes.
P.S.
If you want your L4 Macros tab always visible in all Word documents then save the template file L4_PB Macros.dotm in the folder:C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
This saves you from having to check the checkbox for this template every time you open a Word document to get the macros working after opening that document.If you have already placed the macro file in C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, then you will need to delete this macro file (L4_PB Macros.dotm).

That's disappointing, but I may know a reason.
If someone who can use these macros could post a short instructional video of using them in a Word doc, I think a LOT more folks would jump on the option. I remember installing them back in about 2012, and I struggled to know how to use them, and kind of gave up after I updated to office 2010 (yea, I'm slow) later that year.
I don't think I know them well enough to make a video, but if someone would do that, and post a link on this thread, these might take off again. I certainly see no less interest in the PB feature from users, and these ideally make that process faster and easier.

Hi James,

What did I do? HELP!!!the Logos4 macros that i built does not have a Next Page macro. So i am guessing that you got it from somewhere else. Perhaps you can email me and i can more clearly understand your problem. (admin [AT] clark-tx [DOT] net)

This is for Word 2010.
Assumptions:
1. You have the L4 macro dotm in a trusted location [Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Trusted Locations] (not sure how important this is)
2. You have the Developer tab enabled. [File | Options | Customize Ribbon --> Add "Developer"]
Then you can add the macros as indicated below.

Sascha,
Gao's instructions should work.
Or did you try the instruction on this post above (the P.S. section), it should also keep the macros visible.

I found the problem. I had to uninstall and reinstall the NewMacros macro. It is in there.
It makes it easy to paginate an entire document in minutes depending on the speed of your pc, RAM, etc.
Thanks.
