My digital certificate just expired so I got a new one (a &quot;renewal&quot;, but it's not really a renewal). The publisher name and all information is exactly what it was before.<br />
<br />
Users of my Excel add-in are having to check &quot;Always trust macros from this publisher&quot; again, even though they had the previously signed (and trusted) macro installed. Am I correct in assuming that Office doesn't really track the publisher, but the whole certificate?<br />
<br />
If that assumption is correct, does anyone know a way to get a certificate issued that would be in keeping with the already trusted publisher on file?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
