Office 2013 - Word Macro Error Message

I am receiving a very repetitive error message in MS Word that states that the function I am running contains macros and that the Administrator at the time of install chose not to install support for macros.  The help associated with this error message directs you to Options / Trust Center.  I have set the Macro option to disable all macros without notification.  This has not solved the problem and in the course of using the document, the error message pops up repetitively.

I have tried to run a Repair / Quick Repair but the process failed.     Additionally, my program states that I have updates pending but the update fails to launch and I receive error message 30088-26.

Please advise how to address these error messages.

Do you have the Acrobat PDFMaker add-in.  It has been reported that uninstalling that overcomes an issue with a message appearing that states "The document contains macros. Macro support for this application is disabled. Features requiring VBA are not available. Would you like to open this document as a read only?"

Hope this helps,

Thank you Doug - I will explore this, but this is not the error message that I am receiving.    It is certainly worth a try.  Thank you for the advice.

Re-run Office setup from Windows Control Panel > Uninstall a Program. Locate Office 2013, right click and select 'Change'. From the ensuing dialog select add features. Locate VBA support and if it is already shown as available (as in the image), click the dropdown and make it unavailable. OK out of the dialog. It will take a while to reconfigure. Then re-run the same process and set the option to run from this computer. That should restore the registry entries and any files required to provide VBA functionality.
