As for Resumes, my organization prefers to receive them either printed or
via email in ascii text format. But we are an IT company not a publishing
company. We consider the content to be more important that the esoteric
appearance. Many other organizations take the opposite stance and want the
esoterically presented Word Document, and consider a well done presentation
as a sign of attention to detail. I would prefer to not receive a Word
document and if I was unable to open it in OO, I would either file
OO opens it. And edits it. But when I try to save it, OO
gives a warning. Odd?
I always took this to be boilerplate for saving in non-native formats.
The warning says it's *possible* that by not saving in native OOo format,
you will lose special features of OOo that are not available in Word
format. That's not surprising, but if your documents are simple, it's not
a huge risk.
You get the same warning saving in ASCII format. Not too surprising there
either.
