Thanks John

If I want to detect any macro, may I know what is the string to be checked?

Thanks & Best Regards
Agung K

A suggestion: macro and VBA code is fairly easy to detect. Get a
document with macros or VBA and look at it with a binary editor.
You'll see the code is stored as "\000macro-command" so if you have a
list of macro commands you can detect them pretty easily. You may need
to do this if you want to detect any macro, vs. just dangerous ones.
