Let's be honest here. Much as it pains me to say this, the world runs on Microsoft Office; call it the lingua franca of information interchange.

Perhaps Word isn't the best tool for the job, but it's usually good enough and you can bet the farm that whatever software the other party is using can import it, largely intact.

Just call me the Anti-Gates ...
