Microsoft
Office is locked down (security is set very high) by default. In its default secure
mode, you can create, view and edit Office files but you cannot run
non-Microsoft Office applications. In other words, you must
specifically allow third-party Office applications (such as
BestInspectors.Net apps) to run.
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to allow BestInspectors.Net applications to run. You only need to adjust your settings once for each PC.
