Last night, my girlfriend (who unfortunately still uses Windows) was trying to print her homeworks using Word 2007 when she was presented with this message:
Can you see the problem with this message?
Regular users don’t know what a macro is, and they don’t have to. What’s more, there shouldn’t even be a macro in my girlfriend’s homework files. Who put that macro in there, and again, WHAT IS A MACRO?
Please don’t present your users with messages which mean absolutely nothing to them. This leads to confusion, and nothing else.
If you absolutely have to show a message like this, at least place a “More Info” link next to it, so the user can read and understand what the message means.
