No, never heard of it. But in the light of the fact that it's VERY easy to 
write a virus-like macro in Word, I'm not amazed.

How do they know it's there, if they don't know what it does ? :)
CONCEPT does nothing but foul up your DOC/DOT management. You can only save 
your text as DOT. It's annoying, but nothing more...
 NO> ... and I'm not ready to try it out on my home PC...
Now that I know how CONCEPT works, I don't have any problem contaminating my 
Word to do some tests. But with a virus you don't know, I don't blame you for 
not investigating. Leave that to the pro's, they have machines to spare. We 
don't.
If you happen to have a friend with a contaminated system, check out the 
macro's, print them, and then you can study a virus in action.
 NO> Any ideas???Thanks!
Since most macro-virusses change the NORMAL.DOT, could it be as simple as to 
render it read-only ? Once you are sure it doesn't need any changes...
