Outlook 2003 Signature ActiveX Error

If you get when composing or replying to an email in Outlook 2003 you get the following error message: “Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly”. This is probably caused by your Outlook email signature.

This will usually occur if you used the advanced edit to edit your signature. It is caused by the smart tags Word adds into the HTML. The easiest way to fix this is to recreate your Outlook signature from scratch without using the advanced edit. This worked for me.

Just had this problem today, a Word 2007 document refused to print form the tray selected in the printer properties. Turns out, you can change the tray setting separately in Word. This setting had been set for some pages, so half the document would print from one tray and the other help from another tray!

To get to the setting, select the Page Layout tab, select the Size drop down and click ‘More paper sizes’.
