[Scottish] I have a virus

[John Gordon Ollason]

Greetings,

	I received a panic phone call yesterday evening from somebody who told me  
that she had sent me an e-mail with a virus attached. I had received the  
e-mail, and opened the attachment, a .DOC file, with OpenOffice 2.0  
working under Fedora Core 4.

Can I have harmed my system by doing this?

I don't think I can, but I'd be grateful for some reassurance.

Thanks,

John O.
