Yeah, I have, Mick....
It sounds like a virus, an old one. Haven't encountered it since Office 6/95,
though. It can drive you batty. Worked one place where every time I was there I
was on a different machine, and I think I cleaned it off every blasted one of
them! This particular one saves your infected documents ONLY as a template.
There's a clean up for it, but I don't have it any more or know where to get it.
Sorry I can't tell you how to get rid of it - haven't encountered it in several
years, now.
