While this will certainly depend on the tech culture and habits of the
environment you're in, and on the features used, I can second that,
while having been forced to use MS Office formats a long time ago in an
OS far far away, I don't think I've ever encountered an external
document I needed to open that had macros.

You'd need to scan them all to at least known which ones to scan, if you
weren't going to just scan them all. Unless you filtered on extensions,
which is probably not a good idea to begin with.

I did warn you guys, no feeding the mogwai after midnight, and no
