SECURITY IN MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007
Module Two
Blocking External Content
Potentially hazardous content is blocked
Not just in Outlook – this feature is in Word, Excel and other products
Microsoft Office products block external content, including images, hyperlinks, data connections and linked media, by default.
Whenever a user opens a document containing the aforementioned types of external data, the user will receive a security alert stating that their security settings have blocked the content.
The security alert contains two buttons. One button allows the user to enable the content that has been blocked.
The other button opens the Trust Center.
Blocking Example
