Signed Macros in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word supports security levels that allow users to run macros based on whether or not the macros are digitally signed by a macro developer who is on a user's list of trusted sources. A digital stamp of identification on a macro confirms that the macro originated from the developer who signed it, and that the macro has not been altered, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the macro and confirming that it does not carry viruses.

The signed macros mechanism is supported by Microsoft Word 2000 and Microsoft Word XP.
