&gt; &gt; &gt; Yeah... Someday, though, people will figure out
&gt; how to use document
&gt; &gt; &gt; formats that are document formats.  :-D  Word is
&gt; a proprietary thing,
&gt; &gt; &gt; and before OpenOffice, what did people request
&gt; when someone didn't
&gt; &gt; &gt; have access to anyone else that had a Word
&gt; license?  
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; that's easy:  RTF.  It is the non-proprietary
&gt; subset supported
&gt; &gt; universally.  If you send an RTF doc all platforms
&gt; (at least all the
&gt; &gt; ones I know about) will be able to open and render
&gt; it.  Avoid using
&gt; &gt; strange fonts/formatting and you should be good.

&gt; &gt; PDF sucks (requires bloatware to view).  JPG is
&gt; better than PDF. ;-)
