Thanks for the explanation.  Now, tell me how "reading" the file
_executes_ it.  The whole point was something has to be "executed" to
cause a virus infection - and you've said the same thing.  Your "the
next time Word is called could cause execution of the (phony)
handler" [words to that effect] makes it clear that _something_ has
to be executed.
TTFN. Rick.
