There may be an option in Word to turn off macros and there is a way
to switch off visual basic.  I would suggest looking at the help files
in Word. However, MS products seem to be heaven sent gifts to folk who

Having started to try BTInternet as well as Demon, it is very rare to
not have some prat port scanning me on BTI.
