Receiving two macro warnings when opening Outlook

Hi Experts! I have a Windows XP Pro pc that has Office 2003 installed. I recently installed Active-sync so I could copy some files to my tilt. For whatever reason, when I open Outlook now, I get two "security warnings".

C:\program files\microsoft office\office11\startup\palmapp.dot contains macros.
Disable / Enable / More info

C:\program files\microsoft office\templates\insert visio button.dot conatins macros.
Disable / Enable / More info

*each time I choose "enable" with no change in results when I open Outlook again. Also, Word opens every time I open Outlook.

I would rather not use the method of creating a local certificate to resolve this. If you know of another way, please let me know. Thanks!

Good suggestion. I did it in Outlook but didn't think about Word. Doing it now.

tools>>> macros>>>>> security

Open Word and Outlook.
Click Tools-> Macro-> security
Change it to Low. You won't be prompted anymore.

Thanks for the posts. I made the change in Word and no more prompts. Is that safe to leave it at "low"? Is there no other fix? Just curious.
