Then they can use it on the job, where the company paid for it to
be installed on the company's computer and if it gets eaten by the
next macro virus to come down the pike, who cares? That's no
reason to use it anywhere else -- even if you have to take work
home, you save the document in an intelligently macro-free format
and use it with whatever you want. (Yeah, yeah, when you save a
Word document in another format, it always whinges that features
will be lost -- too bad for it). My normal save format is ASCII
text.
