I haven't looked into it, but I believe a script *may* be able to
save a binary file (.exe?) and execute it.
I doubt there is any documented way of doing it though...

Subject: Word Macros & file sharing?


Can word macros enable file sharing?

Given the rash of viri and that "Hacking for idiots" GUI, this
seems to be a dangerous combination that will soon hit (if it
works).
