(Updated) Reminder: Microsoft Office default change – Blocking VBA macros in files from the internet MC437557 · Publiceret 23. sep. 2022 · Senest opdateret 27. sep. 2022 Tjeneste Microsoft 365 Apps Mærke ADMINISTRATORPÅVIRKNINGBRUGERPÅVIRKNINGFUNKTIONSOPDATERING Meddelelsesoversigt Updated September 26, 2022: We have updated the content to show as intended. Thank you for your patience.

VBA macros are a common way for malicious actors to gain access to deploy malware and ransomware. As a reminder (MC322553 in Feb 2022, MC393185 in June 2022), to help improve security, we are changing the behavior of Office applications to now block macros in files from the internet. Learn more in this blog post.

This change only affects Office on devices running Windows and only affects the following applications: Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word.

The change described in this post is scheduled to be included in the following channels:

Monthly Enterprise Channel: Version 2208 on Tuesday October 11, 2022 Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Preview): Version 2208 on Tuesday October 11, 2022 Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel: Version 2208 on Tuesday January 10, 2023 Note: If you ever enabled or disabled the Block macros from running in Office files from the Internet policy, your organization will not be affected by this change.

Key points:

Timing: Available in Monthly Enterprise Channel and Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Preview) in October 2022, available in Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in January 2023 Action: Review and assess impact How this will affect your organization:

Previously, it was possible for end users to enable these macros by simply clicking a button on the Trust bar.

Now, with this change, once a user opens an attachment or downloads from the internet an untrusted Office file containing macros, a message bar displays a Security Risk that the file contains VBA macros obtained from the internet with a Learn More button.

VBA Macros Blocked Trust Bar Åbn billedet i en ny fane The Learn More button goes to an article for end users and information workers that contains information about the security risk of bad actors using macros, safe practices to prevent phishing and malware, and instructions on how to enable these macros (if absolutely needed).

What you need to do to prepare:

Enterprises should evaluate their use of macros in files obtained from the internet to determine how this new default behavior will affect their users.

Det handler om standard-indstillingen for Office-filer hentet fra nettet. Spørgsmålet er om WordMat's filer hører med i kategorien "fra nettet".

Den hurtigste måde at få et svar er at prøve det af. Prøv at blokere for VBA-makroer for internettet. Tjek så om WordMat stadig virker.

Tak for oplysningen. Jeg havde set problemet i anden sammenhæng hvor en makrofil blev hentet direkte ned, men vidste ikke hvorfor. Jeg tror dog ikke dette kommer til at berøre WordMat, da WordMat.dotm installeres via en installer. WordMat.dotm filen er også digitalt signeret, så den burde få lov til at blive kørt.
