Microsoft advises ’safe mode’ for Word | CNET News.com
In the wake of at least one targeted attack that exploits a new flaw in Word, Microsoft is advising users to run the application in “safe mode.”

Running Word in the restricted mode will not fix the vulnerability, but it will help block known modes of attack, Microsoft said in a security advisory published late Monday. The software maker is also developing a security update for Word, which should be available on June 13 or sooner, as warranted, the company said.

How to prepare Word files before import

In many cases it is advisable to prepare Word files, in order to avoid a number of well-know problems. The following is a little check-list that can be used as a guideline. (This list is based on material from one of the excellent courses run by Judy Ann Schoen [1])

* Accept all changes and switch off track-changes mode.
* Delete all comments.
* Remove embedded graphics, logos, icons etc. from headers and footers.
* Delete graphics and text fields that are located close to the document edge.
* Remove inline graphics using the macro ImagesOutIn by Miri Ofek (available from the yahoogroups website of the dejavu-l list: [2])
* Watch out for spaces with different formatting than the rest of the text. They can lead to excessive codes in the DV project.
* Switch off the auto-recognition of the language.
* In severe cases, where the Word document won’t import or export or when there is an excessive number of codes, try to save as RTF or open and save using OpenOffice.
* In hopeless cases, save the Word doc as plain text (*.txt) and apply the formatting manually (and cleanly) after translation.
* Switch off the syllable division.
* Remove nested groupings.
