Have a look at my PowerPoint macro checker tutorial, which notifies users if macros are disabled in the slide show.

That pop-up likely saved me from hundreds of support requests due to disabled macros.

Games by Tim, It is very good for checking if macros are enabled.i might add it to my game . But if macros is disabled and people dont know how to enable it , which set of instructions should i give to them . My Instructions Construction is pretty weak , hence i asked  Embarassed


Actually , i just scrolled down in help center and found that you have alredy posted about this topic.I have that same problem.

The easiest way is to link to Microsoft's instructions.

Windows instructions
Mac instructions

When you submit a game to the Game Jam there is a box for you to insert any download instructions if needed. You could warn people here that the game needs to have macros enabled. You might even be able to add a screenshot of what people will see.

(I've got some games in the Sci-Fi jam)
