I haven't seen OpenOffice or StarOffice listed as being vulnerable.

Symantec and the rest have been testing various versions of Word. I don't know if they would automatically test alternatives. /rich On 12/8/06, Sean O'Malley <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > On Fri, 8 Dec 2006, Richard Wiggins wrote: > > > The advice from Microsoft is not to open Word documents from anyone, > > even trusted senders.
