Updated XP. All of a sudden Word starts by itself beginning with the error
message- "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content
that requires macro language support. Whe this software was installed you or
your aministrator chose not to install support for macros or control"

What gives?

The update might have tripped a dormant Word macro that is
embedded in a document and this macro can now be run. Options
are to eliminate the macro or the document that is being opened
by the macro. Not unusual when the original document has not
been stripped of any links or macros used in its creation.
