Studio 2022: using Word as spellchecker NOT possible—very urgent problem!

This is what I get trying to start Word as spellchecker:

Trados Studio error message: Unable to select spell checker extension. Unable to locate if Microsoft Word is installed on this machine.

In the background this Office message appears:

Microsoft Office security warning in German: Microsoft Office has identified a potential security risk. Microsoft has blocked the execution of macros because the source of this file is not trustworthy.

How shall I proceed to get MS Word as spellchecker working? Hunspell is no option, it does not even know the very common German word for contractor "Auftragnehmer". Word has been working properly for years...

  • It has worked before. There must have been an MS update recently, which I did not notice. I work with Office 365 64 bit on Windows 11 Pro 64 bit. This might be an important information. I have already run a repair installation of Studio, but not yet of Office. Might try that later.

    But the problem seems to be the macro executed in that file (path stated above), which is being blocked by Office. Unfortunately, the method described by MS to activate the macro, is not available on my PC. A partial solution is to allow all macros, but this only allows to ignore words, not to add them to Word dictionary.
