As the administrator I install Office on our lab systems, we don't store user
profiles so when the log off their profile is deleted. This causes an issue
in Office 2007 applications. When a user starts Word, for example, they must
answer the yellow security warning to Trust All Documents from This Source or
they can't print or copy within the Word session. This is aggrivating to them
becuase they must do this each time they log in. Once they do it of course
the do not need to do it again until they log off and back on. Is there some
registry setting that would prevent this. We use a number of add-ons to Word
for Equations, Plotting Applications, etc.

thanks in advance,
mitch

No. The question "did you want to trust..." is a security question and for
security reasons a new user can't automatically trust someone. (If you could
it could create potential security hole.) The solution is to keep the
user's profile.

Beth,

Thanks. It would seem that an administrator could add a list of "trusted
sources". For example, Design Science, the maker of MathType should be able
to be added for certain addins. Not for any, but fr ones an administrator
explictly defines.

thanks again,
mitch
