Has anyone else had this problem? I've had it from several people in recent months. When sending documents to non-RO users I convert them to PDF if they are not for editing, or Word if they are (eg contributions to a newsletter). Several people have come back asking me to re-save and re-send, because the file has been detected as suspicious. There can't be any malware in a file generated by EW, and I can't believe that EW would add any content that wasn't necessary. My suspicion is that the file is being scanned to find out what version of Word created it, and then checked to make sure it contains nothing inconsistent with that version. Since an EW file doesn't contain such an identifier, it is failing the first part of the test. If I am right, I consider it arrogant of MS to assume that anything not created by MS is probably malicious. I wonder whether it would reject files created by Open Office, or Apple's 'Pages'.
