Sorry, my email software is insisting that I top post. I can write a macro that will cause all sorts of problems.... But by default you will be warned that a document or template had macros.
And this is not limited to LO. I am not familiar with a mechanism that can push my files of the computer without running a macro. Would love to know what that is. Please share.
