title: How to disable macros in office word 2003?
body: <p>I am trying to convert a word report to PDF using Adobe distiller. Some of these word files have macros in them which shows a popup when the doc is opened and this stops the automation process.</p>
  
  <p>We tried disabling the macros by</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>wordApplication.AutomationSecurity = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAutomationSecurity.msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but now the application is not firing the <code>Document Open</code> event anymore, where the conversion code is implemented.  The code is written, in the event, in order to make sure the conversion happens only after word loads the file.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way to disable macros? Or any other approach so that I can disable the macros and also make sure the file is loaded in order to start the conversion process.</p>
