Wow! FIVE (5) security alerts issued in One (1) day.
Basically... a flaw with Visual Basic for Applications SDK (versions 5.0 to 6.3) might permit an attacker to run code of their fancy on targeted systems if they trick an user into opening an infected document. The package has been used to develop Microsoft applications (such as various versions of Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) so they also need patching. (MS launches Office security blitz, The Register)

Addition.
And I knew switching to Office v.X was right. Office v.X is not in the danger list.
