    Don't stand completely corrected. Check the instances you have
    running. You will find that, in general, if an app is used locally,
    even *if* the ports are open, they are only open on localhost. This is
    true of Visio as well as Office and many other apps. It's only if the
    app is being used **as a server** that the port is open to the network
    interface.
