The "universal" RTF formatted file may contain a macro that can do anthing the user can, and do so without triggering a warning dialog box. This problem can occur if a template that contains macros is attached to a Rich Text Format (RTF) document, and the RTF document is opened in Word. If your computer's security level in Word is set to Medium, Word does not warn you that the document contains macros.
