I've been making extensive use of Word macros since version 3.2 for DOS. Any
organisation that uses Word but not macros is probably wasting a lot of its
people's time: it should *either* make full use of the power of Word to
automate repetitive tasks *or* benefit from the simplicity, low cost and low
hardware demands of a "Works"-type word processor.

But, as I've said elsewhere, Microsoft deserve a lot of blame for ignoring
macro security until years too late.
