      If you mean Word macro viruses, they are a lot less common than they used to be, but some of them are still out there. This is why most people recommend ticking the box under Tools>Options…, General tab, to notify you of changes to Normal.dot before saving those changes. On the other hand, Normal.dot will be changed if (1) you create a macro (and don’t specifically save it somewhere else); (2) you create an AutoText entry (and don’t specifically save it somewhere else); (3) you create a formatted AutoCorrect entry; (4) you change a style defined in Normal.dot; (5) you customize a toolbar generated by Normal.dot; and probably in many other ways. So… it would be helpful to know why you are asking this question. smile
