Hi :) With any Gnu&Linux it is easy to install a virtual machine and open the document in there. If anything goes horribly wrong you can just delete the VM. Alternatively use a spare partition, or create one and install a basic OS to there instead of to a VM. Similarly if there is a problem then you always have the nuclear option of deleting the partition. One way to get rid of macros is save in another format such as Odt or Rtf but that may change the layout of the document. If you do trust the person that sent you the document then perhaps just scan it with an antivirus such as ClamAv and then open it to see what it does. Most malware infested documents are aimed at MS Office on Windows so LibreOffice on Gnu&Linux is likely to be much safer even ignoring the fact that you open the document as a normal user rather than an Admin/SuperUser so it's much more difficult for malware even if LO and Gnu&Linux was the intended target. If the document ask you to key-in your super-secret SuperUser password then just cancel that but it's incredibly unlikely to try elevating privileges on your system if you are using Gnu&Linux.
