I own Acrobat 4.0 (an older version). I have installed it on my XP machine,
but every time I start MS Word I get an error message that the certificate
has expired. I click enable macros anyway. However, the message comes back
every time I start Word.
How do I stop it from asking me if I want to enable macros?????

This is an Acrobat, not a Word, or Windows issue. Acrobat 4 (IMS) isn't XP
compatible. If you want to use it you're going to have to upgrade.

It works fine with XP. All I did was set my macro security to a lower level
in M$ Word.

Glad you think you solved your problem, but lowering security in order
to use an old, unsupported program is not the best choice. However,
it's your computer. I hope you are at least running a current version
antivirus (not older than 2004) with updated virus definitions.
