If you create a FileOpen, AutoExec, AutoNew, or AutoOpen macro in Microsoft
Word 97 for Windows, and WinStone anti-virus software is installed, the
macro will not run. When you restart Word, the macros have been renamed to
similar names, such as FileOpenOld.

The Macro-Virus prevention feature in WinStone anti-virus software
eliminates the FileOpen, AutoExec, AutoNew and AutoOpen macros.

To work around this behavior, disable the automatic macro virus protection
by moving the Lmdwav.dll file out of the Winword/Startup folder. You can
still run the WinStone anti-virus package manually; however, WinStone will
not be able to automatically scan for macro viruses.
