This is why we have a campaign to refuse to read Word files. Now there are many reasons you should refuse to read Word files. One is, they could have viruses in them. If someone sends you a Word file, you shouldn't look at it. But the point is, you shouldn't even try to look at it. Nowadays there are free programs that will read most Word files. But it's really better, better than trying to read the file is if you send a message back saying, "please send that to me in a format that isn't secret. It's not a good idea to send people Word files." And the reason is, we have to overcome the tendency in society for people to use these secret formats for communication.
