But there is one wrinkle: some versions of Word *might* run using a Windows emulation package such as Wine or Wabi. Whether the virii would survive in such a transplanted environment I have no idea.

MS Office for Win-3.1 runs fine under WABI. (At any rate as fine as under Windows). I assume that whatever a Word macro woud do if Word were running under Windows, it would also do if Word were running under WABI. In fact, When "Word is running under WABI" Word is really running under Windows which is running under WABI. I've received a lot of Word files (which is why I run WABI anyway) but so far have had the luck to avoid macro virus troubles, so I can't report objective evidence about my assumption above. (Maybe I shouldn't have said that).
