Many companies do not publicize the fact they were hit - for many reasons -
from downright embarrassment, security reasons, or to not give the
perpetrator (which I hear might be a teenager who's unleashed others) the
jollies (s)he would get from seeing their "handiwork" publicized like this.

Also - many have put blocks at the server level, and caught it there, so it
never made it to desktops...

Lastly, Word97 and Word2000, I believe, have the "Virus Protection for
Macros" enabled by default -- and Word2000 has security set to High, by
default.  This causes a prompt to the user as to whether to execute the
macro.  Users are pretty much informed now not to open Word documents, and
not to execute the macro.
