+## Important note on unlocking the VBA project of macro files
+
+Upon unlocking the VBA Project of a Macro Enabled file, that file will state it has encountered issues and needs to recover... __DO NOT PANIC__, this is normal.
+
+The steps to follow to complete the unlock is as follows:
+
+1. Open the unlocked file and click 'Enable Content' on the warning:

+
+2. Click 'OK' on the following pop-up:

+
+3. Open Visual Basic from the Developer toolbar:

+
+5. Navigate to the Protection tab and enter a new password (a one character password is fine, as we will be removing it again straight away). Click 'OK'.

+
+6. Head back in to VBAProject Properties > Protection tab, and de-select the 'Lock project for viewing' checkbox and clear any passwords in the boxes below. Click 'OK'.
+
+7. The modules will now be unlocked and you can save the document without having to repeat these steps.
