How to Enable Outlook Macros and Developer Mode - WINDOWS ONLY

 

This How To will only work on Windows computers as it enables Visual Basic and that is only available on Windows.

Step 2 - Enable Developer Mode

 

We need to add the Developer tab to our ribbon at the top

Right click on the empty space next to "Report Phishing" 

Select "Customize the Ribbon..."

 

 

A new window will pop up and you will want to find "Developer" on the right side

 

You will then click on the check box next to Developer

 

 

Click "OK"

 

 

 

Step 3 -Enable Macros

 

Click on "File"

 

 

Click on "Options"

 

 

Click on "Trust Center"

 

 

Click on "Trust Center Settings"

 

Click on "Macro Settings"

 

 

Select "Notifications for all macros"

This will notify you every time you launch Outlook and will give you the choice of enabling or disabling macros for that Outlook session

You can "Enable all macros" but just be aware that the macros you use will always be active

 

 

Click "OK"

 

 

Step 4 - Accessing macros and Visual Basic

 

Click on the "Developer" Tab

 

 

Now you can access your macros and Visual Basic
