This is true even when we don't know of such alerts: journos should open all Word or PDF attachments on iPhones/Ipads or Google drive/docs.

I know this sucks. But it works & keeps you safe. Once you open your doc safely, you can copy the text as plaintext and paste it elsewhere!

Also: Update your software—including MS Word and Office—as soon as possible. Worst moment is when an exploit is out but ppl haven't updated.

PS This applies to all MS Office files! Word, Excel, PPT. They are already notoriously insecure; at the moment known exploit going around.

It comes out on Tuesdays; so this will take a while. In general, you should have "update automatically" set up. No other way to secure.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
