You may already know that along with Office 2007, Microsoft introduced a new file format that is not compatible with older versions of Office. If you haven’t upgraded to Office 2007 or are using Mac OSX then you won’t be able to automatically open Word documents that carry the .docx extension or PowerPoint Presentations (.pptx). If you are using an older version of Office in Windows and attempt to open a .docx or .pptx file, you may be prompted with a message to install the Microsoft Compatibly Pack (which you should do) or you could get an error message.

This document will deal with basic levels of intrusion analysis, aimed mainly at intrusions on desktop systems, or initial examination of servers. It is not an in depth technical discussion of recovery of mission critical servers. It should also be noted that a number of these tools will change the file system - this will more than likely make the drive inadmissible as evidence. If you think you might want to involve law enforcement, this isn’t the guide to read!

The language structures in OpenOffice.org BASIC are very similar to those used in
Visual BASIC. The methods used for accessing the underlying documents, however, are
vastly different and have essentially no compatibility with each other. Entire books have been written dealing with the differences between Visual BASIC 6 (VB6), Visual BASIC.NET (VB.NET), and Visual BASIC for Applications (VBA). This chapter is only an overview of issues concerning compatibility between the OpenOffice.org BASIC and Visual BASIC. I use VBA, VB6 and VB.NET to refer to the specific versions and VB to generically refer to either or both versions.
