Macros in Word 2016 for Mac

Word for Mac 2016 (the version included in Office365 for Mac) does not currently have support for Third-Party macros. This means, as much as we would like there to be, there is no way to enable the Quicksave macro in this version of Word. However, please take a look at our Save to Merus Add-In for Microsoft Office, which is compatible with Word 2016 for Mac.

Files from the internet are often put into ‘Protected View’ by default in Word. Using ‘Protected View’ you can read a file and see its contents but you reduce the ability to edit the document or have it function with outside systems, such as MerusCase.

Exiting Protected View to edit, save, or printing

In order to edit, save, or print a document that has been opened up in ‘Protected View’ you may either -

1. On the yellow Message Bar that appears when first opened, click ‘Enable Editing’.

2. If the Message Bar is no longer there or is red, click ‘File’ then ‘Edit Anyway’.

Changing my ‘Protected View’ Settings

To keep ‘Protected View’ from continuing to be a problem you may adjust the settings to lessen how often it defaults to ‘Protected View’ or disable it all together. Before completely disabling it please contact your IT administrator.

1. Click ‘File’ then ‘Options’.

2. Click ‘Trust Center’ then ‘Trust Center Settings’ and ‘Protected View’.

3. Adjust settings by checking and unchecking selection boxes and clicking ‘Okay’. MerusCase suggests at the very least unselecting the ‘Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet’ and clicking ‘Okay’.

Additional Information on ‘Protected View’

For more information on ‘Protected View’ please check out Microsoft’s page about the subject: Microsoft Office - ‘Protected View’.
