Use the RTF Format for Word Documents
Most businesses and individuals use the ubiquitous
DOC format for their Word documents, despite the frequency of
security issues and danger of macro viruses. Sometimes,
security holes or viruses are exploited before the major virus
protection software vendors have a chance to update their
products. One way of avoiding almost all of these problems is
to ignore DOC and save your Word documents in RTF (Rich Text Format)
instead. Others can still read your documents, but RTF does
take up more space than DOC. Since documents generally aren't
that large to begin with, and hard drive space has become relatively
cheap, size shouldn't be much of an issue.
You might also consider chucking MS Office
altogether in favor of the free OpenOffice.org
suite. Choose the Open Document
Format for saving your documents; it takes up miniscule amounts
of space. You can still save in DOC or RTF if others without
the software need to read your work, but you won't be vulnerable to
any Word exploits if you're using OpenOffice instead.
