I'd say it's evidence that OO has arrived, and it's worth virus writer's
attention.

One of the comments has it right:  To be bit by a macro virus requires you
either altering the security settings or clicking OK on a dialog box that
tells you this document you just opened has a macro in it, and it's a REALLY
bad idea to run this macro if you aren't certain who sent it to you AND that
you trust them running things on your computer. (like maybe they signed it
with their *GP* key?)
