Do you understand what is a macro? When you enable a macro, you give the permission for somebody to run programs on your machine. If you give that permission, what is difference between you enable a macro and run an attached .exe? If I send you an email with a runme.exe in attachment, do you open it? It doesn't has to be a Word macro, it could be a lot of other ways. It could just be a shortcut to format.com on your machine. It just happened that hackers like to target on apps and OS that many people use. And easy of programming in VB helps too.
