hey wily, i see you have office97... would that include word97? this just came "across the wires": "TIP OF THE DAY -------------- PROBLEM: There's a big security hole in Word 97, and you can get a virus infection by simply looking at a Web page or reading an e-mail message that takes advantage of the hole. SOLUTION: True, this is probably the largest security hole ever discovered in a Microsoft product (depending on what you mean by "large"). You're at risk if you use Internet Explorer 4 or 5, or Outlook 98 or 2000, and you have Word 97 installed on your PC. Fortunately, no virus-writing cretin has figured out how to exploit the hole--yet. For complete details, plus the downloadable patch, go to officeupdate.microsoft.com " fwiw :) mark
