I have never seen this before. What is the meaning of an exclamation point on
the logo that represents a saved Word 2003 document?

The exclamation mark indicates a macro-enabled Word 2007-format document
(*.docm) or template (*.dotm).

Are you sure it's from Word 2003, not 2007? Or maybe it's Word 2003 with the
Compatibility Pack, and you saved in 2007 format?
 
Thank you. I believe it was a 2003 document since I do not have 2007 on
either of my computers. Now, green checkmarks are appearing on some documents
logos. I have never seen this before, either. What are they? Are there any
other mysterious marks that are appearing? Incidentally, I couldn't make
either of the links in the email to me work in order to get back (by link) to
your message. I had to come to the site anew in order to read this. Thank you
for replying.
 
If it's not 2007, it could be some kind of versioning system
(subversion, cvs). They commonly update icons indicating the status of
your file in the versioned system.

Or perhaps the AV is marking files as dangerous or "checks clean"?

Hey ... I have been wondering about this too ... I have never seen these icons before with the checks and exclaimation marks:

I am running XP Pro with Office 2007 ... new install (after my PC crashed) but these icons ... trying to figure out what the check or exclaimation mark means ... when I opened one with the exclaimation mark ... it says something about macros have been disabled by the trust centre?
 
I have noticed the same thing on Word 2003 icons on my desktop. This must be
as a result of recent updates . Would it not be a good idea for microsoft to
inform their customers when changes are introduced. Anyway I would love to
know the signifance of these new markings checks and exclamation marks, and
are there any others?
