Hmm, I thought Word '97 was supposed to innoculate against the macro
viruses. Not true?

Just about any other word processor such as Ami Pro (if it's still
made), WordPro, etc will import Word .doc files. In most cases you have
to backwardly save them from the latest version first, though. ie, if
you have Word 97 you generally need to save the doc as a Word 6 or 7
document before importing into the other word processor.
