This is not quite true.
There is a virus called "The Word Concept Virus" which is actually
written in Word Basic. This virus can be transmitted by mailing a
Word document to someone and is activated by the receiver
reading the document.
The payload varies depending on who has played around with
the source - but whatever you can do in Word Basic, this virus
may be able to do.
So take care reading attached Word documents.
cheers,
Andrew
