Default Do Macros cause corruption of big files

Since .csv and .prn (and .dat???) are plain old text files, they shouldn't be
corruptible at all.

If you're saving the file as .xls, then I've never noticed any correlation
between macro use and corrupt files. But I'd say finding the reason a file gets
corrupted is pretty difficult.

told that such frequent use of Macros may corrupt the files. Is it true?
