With Office becoming an ever-increasing target for malware writers, Microsoft is offering a tool and guidance to help improve the security of Office 2007 and 2003.

The Office 2007 Security Guide will be posted on Microsoft's TechEd site on Tuesday and formally introduced at the Microsoft TechEd conference this week in Barcelona, Spain. The guide will offer detailed documentation for securing Office 2007 applications to protect against specially written document files with malicious code hidden within them.
