Can't argue with that. There are some very basic safeguards for
stopping email type viruses. However, a Word virus is not easy to
trap until it hits you. In fact, is there a way of hitting Word so
you're safe?

Education is an answer, but then who is to say that the people will
head the advice. How many will update the virus checker? Having said
that, there's no ammount of forsight which will prevent viruses which
exploit some new flaw.
