and type digital certificate
This from the Help file:"Create your own digital certificate
Run the Office 2000 setup program.
On the Select Features screen in the setup program, expand Office Tools.
Select Digital Signature for VBA projects, click the arrow next to your selection, and then select Run from My Computer.
In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the file SelfCert.exe in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office.
Note Because a digital certificate that you create yourself isn?t issued by a formal certificationauthority, macro projects that are signed by using such a certificate are referred to as self-signed projects. Depending on how your organization uses the digital-signature features in Microsoft Office, you might be prevented from using such a certificate, and other users might not be able to run self-signed macros for security reasons."
