Check where the file originates from, and if it is a trusted source or his own document, click Enable Content.

Explanation:

A macro is a program that will perform a series of actions. This is especially useful to write a macro program in Word when some frequents actions are to be repeated from time to time. Hence, macro is not necessary be a malicious program and they can be written by user themselves. This is the reason when we see the warning "Macros have been disabled.", we should check the source of the file and if it is from our trusted source or our own file, we can enable it to allow it to perform its function.
