Albert, Someone has already given you a solution; just FYI, the problem is not your Word, but is an attribute of each of the files involved. This will happen if you open a document you downloaded or one attached to an email; in these cases, Windows suspects these documents might not be safe, and "blocks" them with a special attribute bit to tell Word not to use any feature which might allow code to run from inside of the document.
You can also unblock a document by right-clicking it in windows explorer, choosing "properties", and clicking on the "unblock" button in this dialog. Windows then causes the properties dialog to lose focus, so you'll have to alt-tab around to get back so you can click "ok" to save your changes.
