Yeah, that would never remove anything important/necessary/crucial from the Word Document.
IT Security is NOT the most important thing in a business. It may be to YOU, but it is not to the boss. Making the most money and spending the least money is the most important thing.
Is trashing everyone's Word Documents and making them spend hours per document redoing them really a good thing?
Is making well-crafted Word Documents sent to potential clients look horrible and losing the sale because of that a good thing?
It amazes me that anyone would think casually translating Word to Open Document and back would be a solution to anything. But, unfortunately, this kind of attitude is far too common in server rooms.
In fact, in a recent issue of Windows IT Pro the headline read,

If he designs a complex solution that is so complex that only an idiot would say it could happen randomly, that's Intelligent Design.

Just put a random keypresser on there for a few billion years. Windows XP will get on there eventually...
Actually, if you RT*A, you will see that this is solely talking about Natural Selection, which is a removal of genetic material. Us right-wing religious nuts believe in Natural Selection.
The article gives zero evidence for molecules-to-man evolution, which was somehow missed by most of the respondents.

No computer virus has "evolved". They are Intelligently Designed by a creator.
