Did you create the doc in gedit? I know a college instructor that is very anti Microsoft so he strips all of the MS code from Word docs that come in to his lab, but I forgot what he uses. "There is NO Microsoft code in MY lab" he said, so I would guess Bill doesn't get a Christmas card from him :-)
