Initially, this is like a "wow" kind of thing.

MS has done it again. The new MS Office 2003 SP3 update will silently and without warning, completely removing ANY access you might have once have had to certain documents. The service pack will block access to many files, including some Office Excel 2003, MS Office PowerPoint 2003 and MS Office Word 2003, as well as Corel Draw, Quattro and Lotus formats.
