The Word document is not infected but what a macro virus infection 
does:  The infected document is a template file with a auto open 
marco that the template file has been renamed to .DOC;  Word knows 
the deference and opens and runs the macro virus infecting more 
documents.
The marco can't be ran if the infected document is loaded into an 
other program like WordPerfect.  Now most if not all anti-virus 
programs will detect the word and excel micro virii and will
disinfect the documents.
