embedded javascript within a word document

A

Andy Fish

Hi,

I noticed some strange behaviour the with a word document recently - i could
see something change (too quick to see what happened) when I scrolled to a
page the first time but then it stopped doing it until I reopened the
document. when I used "show all formatting" there seemed to be some embedded
javascript within the document.

it's definitely NOT just a .js file dragged into the word document.

I converted the document to XML to see what was happening and here's what I
saw

<w:r>
<w:rPr>
...
</w:rPr>
<w:pict>
<w:scriptAnchor>
<w:args> type="text/javascript"</w:args>
<w:scriptText>document.write('\u006D\u0061\u006C\u0079\u0073...')</w:scriptText>
</w:scriptAnchor>
</w:pict>
</w:r>

anyone got any ideas at all what this is all about? how can javascript be
embedded in a word document? what does it mean?

Andy
