Enable Macros when accidentally Disabled

[cawash]

I accidentally disabled the macros of a worksheet and could not get them to work. I also found that all of my other worksheets had their macros disabled as well.

I checked secruity and all were on Medium. I checked help and could find nothing that could help me.

help if someone can.

TIA
