Every time someone sends you a .doc formatted file, tell them you can't read it and to please send plain text or postscript.

There's really no need for any other formats for documents that are to be printed.

If you're a flaming radical who want's to tear down MS, script an automated message for every 'webmaster' who offers only .doc versions of documents. While you're at it you might do the same for that flash crap [-)
