If non-windows users would like to see people start to use something other than Word, maybe you should not push and promote crap-ass programs like Star Office.
While I support the idealogy of Open Source, and love it when companies give programs away for free, in the case of Star Office you get what you pay for.
That said however,.PDF can be created and viewed by Unix based systems, if this is the format attached, who cares how is was created.
I am also a writer for the technology industry. If I am sending a general communication I certainly wouldn't generate anything other than plain text. However, if I send out a project, or even a resume, it would never under any circumstances come in plain text.
Yes I hear you now, muttering to yourself. I am fortunate enough to be able to tell persons who refuse resumes that are not in plain text to bite me.
I do agree that Word sucks, and do not create anything (of value) in it. I create all valuable documents in Adobe FrameMaker,and publish to.PDF or.HTML and it's related web formats.
