Microsoft Office applications have a customization capabilities
—transforms.
Unfortunately, hackers use those capabilities for nefarious purposes.
Afraid of viruses, most people do not enable any macros. This means that terrorists win. A middle ground is to make use the list of trusted sources with the Specify Office Security Settings page of the Custom Installation Wizard. The settings block macros and other executable code from old sources and helps prevent users from adding new sources to the list. If you leave the list empty, users can run no macros from external sources, including some add-ins and templates that come with Microsoft Excel 2002 and Microsoft Word 2002. You can also associate Microsoft certificates on the list of trusted sources. If you have already installed Office, you can use the Custom Maintenance Wizard to distribute settings to other users.
