People who work with VB code in spreadsheets understand that enabling macros is essential.

      open up an excel s.h ...macros were not enabled.  Enable them, without closing the s/h.

        This would be a really nice feature to have IMHO.

        I'd love to have a notification at the top (as for the read-only thing)
- that said: "macros are disabled, would you like to enable them for
this document" or somesuch.

        Then again, I guess that would also need to check that the macro
settings were not locked-down, and avoid showing itself unless there
were real macros, with real content available [ which is hardish to
detect ].

        I imagine that we'd also want to make macro enablement more of a
transient per-document setting rather than an office-suite-wide one.

        Either way, I'd love to use the feature personally =) do you need code
pointers ? [ I suspect you'd need more than just the ability to write a
unit test ;-].

        I also imagine that enabling this post load would miss emitting a
number of the 'onLoad' type events that are necessary there => more
work.

        ATB,

                Michael.
