Microsoft said: "By default, these file formats are blocked because they are less secure. They may pose a risk to you." The software giant has provided a workaround for users who need to access such files but the default is to disable access. The Service Pack launched in December. There's more from Microsoft here. ® 84 comments posted — Comment period finished Whats this got to do with XP SP3?Posted: 15:18 2nd January 2008 What?? you are not using Office 2007?Posted: 15:24 2nd January 2008 I beg your bloody pardon??Posted: 15:45 2nd January 2008 Office 2003 is less secure...Posted: 15:49 2nd January 2008 TwatsPosted: 15:53 2nd January 2008
