I have all the symptoms of a macro virus in Word on my XP Professional computer running MS Office XP. When ever I try to open any file in Word on this computer or from My USB stick I am told that the file is not avaible. If I take the USB stick to another computer running Office 2003 I have no problem to open the doc. I have done virus scans with Norton and AVG and Trend Micro and all tell me my computer is fine. I spent 2 hours with Microsoft on the phone yesterday and got alot of different suggestions to try but nothing worked as well. Does any one know if I will have to format my hard drive to get rid of this macro virus... I have all my service packs and windows updates
 
Greetings --

You've mentioned two different versions of Office. Aren't you
sure that your problem isn't being caused because the document(s) in
question contain some newer Office 2003 feature that the older version
of Office cannot interpret?
