Couldn't agree more.

And it may be anti-social of me, but when people insist on sending me 
documents in Word format despite polite requests not to do so, they

*Particularly* idiotic government departments.  (Who seem to be very 
slowly learning to implement their own guidelines.)

Anyone got any *firm* information on the stance of the legal profession 
these days re. use of MSWord?  Time was, it was banned, IIRC.
