How to disable irritating Office File Validation security alert?
- by Rabarberski
I have Microsoft Office 2007 running on Windows 7. Yesterday I updated Office to the latest service pack, i.e. SP3.
This morning, when opening an MS Word document (.doc format, and a document I created myself some months ago) I was greeted with a new dialog box saying:
Security Alert - Office File Validation
WARNING: Office File Validation detected a problem while trying to
open this file. Opening
this is probably dangerous, and may allow a malicious user to take
over your computer. Contact the sender and ask them to re-save and
re-send the file. For more security, verify in person or via the phone
that they sent the file.
Including two links to some microsoft blabla webpage.
Obviously the document is safe as I created it myself some months ago.
How to disable this irritating dialog box?
(On a sidenote, a rethorical question: Will Microsoft never learn? I consider myself a power user in Word, but I have no clue what could be wrong with my document so that it is considered dangerous. Let alone more basic users of Word. Sigh....)
