They have a point

I can't really understand all these negative reactions. The fact that macro's can only be allowed to run or not, without any discrimination between those that try to (for example) write to external files and those that don't, is stupid. Users are warned that macro's exist in a document, but macro's can be very useful without having to do potentially dangerous things.


    IMHO, OO.o's reaction ('Industry standard practice') shows a complete lack of understanding of security issues.
