>     .Introduction

>           Hejos folks, it's me back again. I am currently sitting at my work in
>     an  office and it's quite boring and annoing ;). So an quite good idea came
>     to my mind,  "Why not write an idiots guide to macro bugs???". This was the
>     first  step of  this tutor and now  you are reading it, I mean at least the
>     first part hehe.  This guide is written  for all ppl  out there who want to
>     code macro but never dared or not found anything interesting. In this tutor
>     I will  explain everything,  ok if I forget  something don't kill me..;) If
>     you have read  some of my old  tutorials  you will find  some things out of
>     them because I combine  my knowledge  for this big primer. And this all for
>     you ha? So what are you waiting for? Read on!

>         All right, first we will start with a little introduction by my brother
>     Slagehammer. It is the short version of Slagehammers article.

>                Thanks Slage for this great information on macros!

>     Now we have some types of macro virus:

>     1) Office 97/SR1
>         - Word
>         - Excel
>         - Power point
>         - Access
>         - Some cross infectors (macro viruses that are able to infect more than
>           one application)

>     2) Office 2000
>         - Actually there are 2 or 3 macro viruses able to spread under Office
>           97/SR1 and Office 2000

>           This is a short description of all around of macro viruses, right now
>     f-prot detect about 4100 macro viruses !!!!

>         Macro  viruses are known  because they spread trought a document, Word,
>     Excel and so on,  so they are easy to get and ususally the user don't think
>     that a "simple" document can have inside a malicious code.

>          First  of all  the 99% of  the macro  viruse spread with the Microsoft
>     Office(95 or 97/SR1)  because this  kind of  application have more function
>     of the standard Word Processor,  or a Spreadsheet, because it can be access
>     to the HD of the user and than at the registry.  Really i think that a word
>     processor can be only a generator of document not more.

>           Writing  this, my mind  goes to the  Melissa  story and its presunted
>     author  VicodinES. He  was in my,  and not  only my  opinion,  the greatest
>     macro  virus  writer never seen,  because  he  don't have  used never nasty
>     payload for his viruses  and avery viruses from him have had something new.

>          Ok ppl, i'm sure that in this article there are not nothing of special
>     and maybe we don't  need what i wrote  but is my point  of view about macro
>     viruses.

>     Any comment about this send mail to slagehammer@usa.net

>         For  all don't know me,  im a virus collector so,  if we have any virus
>     stuff you want to send to me for my collection, everything you will send to
>     me, is welcome. Send the stuff at slagehammer@usa.net.

>         All right  hope you know now a little more about macros.  In this tutor
>     we will  start at  the basics  and after and  after get  more in depth with
>     macro like stealth, retro, polymorphism, encryption, etc.  If you are ready
>     we will start with a general information.

>         Ok, before this whole thing starts, I just want to let you know that
>     english is not my native language, so please excuse all misspells in this
>     tutorial ;)

>     .What is a macro exactly?

>         As this is an idiots guide we will also talk about the basics like what
>     is a macro and so on. If you know VBasic, macros are nothing different than
>     a module.  This module is part  of the VBA environment  where you code your
>     macro and stuff.  To get  in the VBA editor of Word / Excel or PPoint press
>     'ALT + F11'.  This shortcut will bring you in.  Tata, you are in your macro
>     world now.  Everything you need for the start is in there!  To start coding
>     in Access,  you will see that there is some difference,  look at the Access
>     section for more information.

>         So the main purpose of a macro is  that it should help you at work.  If
>     you have  routines that  you use frequently  you can code a macro or record
>     one.  Hint!  Whenever you have an idea and don't know how to code it, start
>     the macro recorder and record your actions! But hold on, you can not record
>     every action you make!

>         Every macro is stored in a module or a class in the VBEditor.  The best
>     way  to code is to use this  editor,  because it  has good  for  debugging.
>     You can also be a  'Hardcore'-coder and write everything  with a texteditor
>     and save  it as a '*.bas'  file and import it into  the VBEditor,  but it's
>     better to use the VBEditor (hehe).

>     .Why code macro?

>         That is a good question .. some say macro is lack, some say macro roqs.
>     There are some pro's for macro.  Macros can be a good start  for you in the
>     VX scene, like me.  I started with macro  and learn now asm.  Macros can be
>     phunny,  because there are a lot of possibilities,  because there is only a
>     few things done in macro.  You do not need so much time for VBA as for ASM,
>     so if you have short freetime and so macro is good for you.  I will not cry
>     now about shitty Microsoft or whatever, because without Microsoft you or me
>     won't code macros so be happy with the viral target Microsoft gave us!

>         The only problem for macro is that there are such a great number of bad
>     macros which are hacks or just lack of imagination. This is what pulls down
>     the macro coder scene. ;)  The case that nearly everyone can write a macro,
>     it is no big problem,  does the bad image.  There are  too much macros that
>     delete your data and  so.  Damn!  Does it help your macro to spread when it
>     deletes your harddisk? NO! So stop it!(PHUCK YOU). Ok, talked enough, let's
>     start with macro, exactly with Word 97.
