Running Word in the restricted mode will not fix the vulnerability, but 
it will help block known modes of attack

In the wake of at least one targeted attack that exploits a new flaw in 
Word, Microsoft is advising users to run the application in "safe mode".

Running Word in the restricted mode will not fix the vulnerability, but 
it will help block known modes of attack, Microsoft said in a security 
advisory published late on Monday. The software maker is also developing 
a security update for Word, which should be available on 13 June or 
sooner, as warranted, the company said.
