This issue can occur if template macros have been disabled. When opening one of the above described files, you will get a dialog box entitled 'PerfectScript', explaining that this document has a macro, and that macros can contain malicious code. If the 'Do not show this message again' box is checked, and 'Yes' is selected, that prompt will not come up again, and the macros will not run. The only resolution is to remove a setting from the Windows Registry.d

First, make a backup of your Windows Registry by following these steps:
