Dont word macro virii affect all brands of word that they come into
contact with? We used to support large numbers of PC and MAC users and
the word concept and macro virii seemed to move at will because people
were not careful and did not upgrade virus protection. Nothing
against, macintosh users but it seemed that our biggest areas of
infection were the areas that had the most mac users.
Perhaps I am wrong, but I always thought that the macro and concept
virii could infect either mac or msdos systems.
