    NOTE:You can unencrypt a macro by deselecting this option in the Global Preferences dialog box, and then saving the macro in its authoring application.

  3. (Optional) Select one or more of the following:

    • Encrypt existing macros when they execute. This option encrypts macros after they are run.

    • Execute only encrypted macros. This option prohibits any unencrypted macros from running.
