I have a batch file that I run to distribute templates throughout the company
as a whole. I created a digital certificate which is used by each; each
template has the digital certioficate associated with it. All users security
level are set at 'Medium'. I have Office 2003 users as well as Office 2007
users. Users are still receiving errors on initial startup of Word; as well
as constantly being asked ot enable macros. They should never be prompted.
What do I change to ensure that all users are not receiving these messages?

What certificate did you use?
Self-Cert is not intended to be used for distributing templates...

Where do you place the templates on the user machines?
If you place them in the User or Workgroup template folder, or the default
Office or Word template folder, then you can set the security to High and do
not need a certificate.

The templates are placed inside of a what I beleived to be a workgroup
folder. It had been used previously without any issues. I read in a
Microosft article that if I use a self cert than users have to have security
level set to medium. What defines a workgroup template?

A Workgroup Templates folder is the one that is set by selecting Options
from the Tools menu and then going to the File Locations tab and clicking on
the Work Group Templates item and then selecting Modify.

You should however see the article "Distributing macros to other users" at:

I have the templates being posted to a folder inside of this path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
