I came across an interesting article in which Microsoft recommends:

 > Block Office file types in e-mail attachments for computers where Office 97 
is > installed.

Microsoft would rather you installed Office 2000 or XP but the link might
help justify a policy of removing Office documents with MIMEdefang.
