    Trusting a file in macro security

    In Excel 2007, is there any way to mark a file as "Trusted", so I don't have to keep SECURITY WARNING>OPTIONS>ENABLE every time I open the file?

    Edit:

    I found Trust Center > Trusted Locations, but is there a way to mark an individual file instead of the entire folder?

    I hadn't read that particular page, but I already knew everything it says.

    I don't think it's possible, but I would like to be able to somehow mark a particular file (not a folder) as trusted, so I don't have to move it into a trusted folder. I was hoping that I had missed something somewhere that would allow me to mark a file.

    I was looking at the "Trust All Documents from this Publisher" radio button.

    I believe you can Create your own personal Digital Certificate and then go from there.

    See:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...CH101001571033

    Also the look at SelfCert.exe which should be on your machine. The dialog claims "A self-signed certificate is only for personal use.

    Is this what you were looking for?

    In 2007 & 2010 you can create Trusted Folders
    Hope that helps.
