Re: [libreoffice-users] Shouldn't it be more secure to by default disable macro support in LibreOffice?

Although yes, not allowing macros of any sort to run would be more 
secure, the default installation is to only allow macros from trusted 
sources and unsigned macros are disabled. So, macros signed by a trusted 
source are allowed and nothing else. This includes macros included with 
LO that may be part of things such as certain Wizards; at least there 
used to be wizards for things like document migration included.

I think that disabling all macros would be confusing if you attempted to 
use a Wizard and it failed to run. I could be mistaken, I did not bother 
to test (lazy I guess).

I don't consider LO usable until I have lowered the setting one level, 
which requires that I say yes / no for every document that I load that 
runs macros. I never set it to just run any macro.
