I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but here goes:

Every single time I open Microsoft Word (Office 2003), I get the
following text box:

"Microsoft Office Word [in border of the message box]"

"This file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.  Since
you are running under high security level, these macros will be disabled."

Is there any way I can find the source/cause of this?  This happens even
if I just start Word without opening any document files at all.  It also
happens every time I start Outlook (because that opens word as the
Outlook E-Mail editor).

I am concerned that something may have infected my system; I had some
kind of critical problem a couple weeks ago, the system would shut down
immediately after starting, and I did have to restore from an image
backup.  The restore (from a Drive Image backup) was drive C:, which
includes the program files folder, but on my system the My Documents
folder (which has all the Word files) resides on drive E:, which was not
restored.  Extensive scanning (both AV and spyware) show the system to
be clean, and it is perfectly well behaved in all regards except for this.

Thanks

You may have a global template that contains macros that was signed by
a code signing certificate that is now expired and they didn't use a
time stamp when they signed it. Global templates are loaded every time
you open Word.

>From the Word menu bar go to Tools > Templates and Add-ins
Under the Templates tab look for the Global templates and add-ins
section and see what it lists in there.

Thank you, that enabled me to fix it.  The problem was cb.dot, a
template file added by "ClickBook", an application that I use (a very
handy application, I might add.  Published by Blue Squirrel software).

Removed the old version, installed the latest version and all is fine.
