Sorry, I don't have, or want, Microsoft word. Use open office or RTF or some other open standard.

There is a new 0 day exploit concerning Microsoft Word documents that can enable a host of malware to be installed on your computer.

http://www.tec4uhub.com/2017/04/booby-trapped-word-documents-in-wild.html

Now I'm not saying that OP is trying to do this, but to be safe I would advise against anyone downloading the file unless their version of Word is patched.

I'm also going to remove the post.

OP you are welcome to post your survey again, provided you use some sort of online survey like google forms or similar.

I've approved your post but I you're asking people to download a file, edit it then email it back to you. We get lots of requests for subscribers to fill in surveys on their vision(or lack of) and it's doubtful you'll get replies.


Not only is this laborious on the part of the person answering the questions, but also gives away their email address which is personal info many don't like to share with a random stranger on the internet. Especially in these days of incessant spam.

You'd be better to use one of the online survey creating services, such as this recent post..

Hello! Thanks for your answer, I've chosen this way as I thought it would be more easy accessible, but I'l make another try in google forms then. Thanks for your tips!
