Subject: Re: Moving to non-Word formats [long]


I have been grazing this thread, and I have to say this: if you're just
writing code, or reminder messages to yourself, you can use any format
you wnat, but if you're writing for someone else to read, and perhaps
to publish, whether you like it or not, WORD is the format they expect,
so use it. I save everything in .doc (1997-2003) format, because
everyone in the world can read it and work with it. Like it or not, WORD
is here to stay! (And use Windows EXTREMELY seldom!)

With such attitude, nothing will ever change.
As governmental documents must be accessible for many decades, we use open document format and pdf.
Not .doc or so
