try .docx since it's an open format. It's interesting to see OP and you both talk about .doc. It shows your familiarity with the details of the topic.


Oh I meant to be more of general statement... I'd be as frustrated if it was odt if use case wouldn't warrant it.

Though docx has its own problem -- a lot of free implementations do not handle it correctly and MS implementation of OpenDocument is largely incomplete (as far as I know from 2007's implementation...) Honestly, using LibreOffice day to day with other users being MS Office users, ironically doc seems to be most complete interchangeable format with these users.

I think some of those come from ambiguity of spec so I guess there are mulple parties to be blamed.
