1. The majority of the applications I submitted over the last 2-year period I spent looking for a job either specified they wanted the format in "TXT, DOC or PDF" formats (i.e. indirectly stating they wanted it pre-Office 2007, & no OpenOffice-type substitutes), or specifically said "text file, Office 2003, or Adobe PDF".

2. Since I have Office 2003 at home, unless someone is still using Office 2000 (or even Office 97) they'll have no trouble reading my resume.
