If Macro security level in MS PowerPoint is not enabled - that is, security is set to Low- by Office applications started by an executable program making a call into the application object. Therefore, any macro would run when an application like Word opened a document and instructed it to run a macro, regardless of whether the macro was trusted or not. To address this issue of low security, a new security method was added to all VBA application objects called AutomationSecurity.
