<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We have Office on all the Macs in our
studio and haven't encountered a single macro virus - thank goodness!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unfortunately you won't always have
the luxury of being able to disable macros when opening a document that
has them. There are a number of Word docs in our company that simply won't
open if you disable the macros. However, in each case I have thought about
their origins (some received from outside sources also) and I make a judgement
call to open them with macros enabled or not - usually I let the macros
run.</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>In both Word and Excel, under Preferences, there is
an option called <br>
"Macro Virus Protection." Enable that and when the program
encounters a <br>
macro it will block it and ask if you are sure if you want to run it. If
<br>
you never allow a macro to run, you are 100% protected.<br>
