The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros. The macros reference cmd.exe and PowerShell, indicating an attempt to execute commands. The GetObject call is also a common technique for executing arbitrary code. The VBA code appears to be obfuscated, and its primary purpose is likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
