Word 2010 Macros won't run after installing Outlook 2013

Here is something I've never run across before.  I'm hoping someone here knows the answer...

One of my co-workers has Office 2010 Professional installed and has for a year or more been running Word 2010 using a macro that opens a form for additional user input for the document.

For some reason that I cannot understand at all, he loaded Outlook 2013 and Lync.  After doing this, his Word document will open but he cannot get the macro to execute the command button in the document.  The macro does not fire, so to speak.  We have checked the Trust Center and the macro settings are at the lowest level.  Still not working!

I have tried to simulate this by installing Word 2010 on my workstation where I have a full copy of Office 2013 Professional installed.  Interestingly enough, similar results occur.  I get a security warning that even though my Word 2010 instance has macro security set to low, strips out the macro altogether. 

I'm not all that interested in finding my problem but would like to get some advice on why he is having the problems after just adding Outlook 2013 and Lync.  They may be related .

Thanks for any assistance.
