I hear WordPerfect 9 (part of Corel WordPerfect office 2000) comes with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Does this mean WordPerfect will be susceptible to macro viruses?

The version of VBA provided in WordPerfect 9 includes a number of security features, but macro viruses are still a potential (but perhaps not great) threat. See WordPerfect Macro VBA FAQ for some more information.
