USE CASES

When to use Inspect Office macros & active content?

Locally inventory Office components that may trigger code or active behavior — VBA, ActiveX, XLM, DDE, web add-ins, controls and custom ribbons — then separate signatures and embedded objects for review, without executing anything.

Quickly review a received DOCM/XLSM/PPTM before opening it
Find VBA, ActiveX, XLM macro sheets, Auto_Open/Auto_Close names or DDE fields
Document active components and signatures before a security review
Separate review-first signals from integrity-only items or embedded objects

CONCRETE EXAMPLE

Third-party XLSM

BEFORE

Your data stays in the browser

Processed content is not uploaded to WorkToolset. Required libraries may be loaded by the site, but the file stays in the browser.

GOOD TO KNOW

Limitations to know

WorkToolSet executes no macro, ActiveX control or add-in, does not decompile VBA and provides no antivirus verdict. A detected component may be legitimate.
A detected signature is not cryptographically validated here, and no detected signal does not prove the file is safe. Some proprietary or legacy structures may remain out of scope.

HOW IT WORKS

A straightforward workflow.

1Prepare the required input and choose useful options.
2Review previews, warnings and limitations before export.
3Download a new copy or report: the original stays unchanged.
