Before there is a panic I think its probably useful to point out that
the document is in MS Word format - and the macro virus will only
operate in MS Word. I opened the document in Wordperfect to no
ill effect.
Word, because of its dominance possibly, is reportedly riddled with
macro viruses. Other WPs are not so affected in this way. A good
reason if any to keep away from enriching Bill Gates pockets any
further!
