1 Simple actions to bypass this MS Windows problem.
2 All MS Word files can be opened and used (read,write, save) by LibreOffice, a free open source office suite.
3 Install LibreOffice on your computer . When oprning afile remotely from MBL that is in MS office format, select to open with LibreOffice by a right click. (Right click will show possible opeions to open file). File will open without MS security problem. You can then re-save in MS Office format (suggest doc 97/2003).
4 I discovered this as I always use both office suites MS Office ( one full paid suite, others simple with computer issue) and LibreOffice on all my Windows computers, also I use LibreOffice on my linux computers.
Thios saves any hassle with MS Office.
