My word attachments are showing a virus when emailed

[Richard-UK]

I have Tiger (latest version) and Microsoft Office 2004. Recently, everytime
I do a word attachement and email to other people, it shows up on their ISP
as containing a virus and they cannot open it. What can I do to get rid of
this so called virus in my word application. Excel and other apps are all
fine. I have ran disk utility and have a firewall. I don't think I have a
virus on my computer.

Please, what can I do to fix my word (preferably free as I'm recently out of
work).

Thanks Guys.

And I suppose you don't have anti-virus software to check, of
course....reasonably so.

Is there any pattern to these documents that get flagged? Same type of doc,
e.g., all resumes from a resume template? Does this happen with all
documents, as far as you know?

Assuming that it's all documents, and all documents that you created
recently, let's make a guess that there may be a macro virus or some sort of
macro flag in your Normal template, which is the basis for all new default
documents. You can easily recreate a new Normal--follow the instructions
under Testing on this page.
