Here, I'm lucky if I get the 'format' on the end. "Craig, I've got a DOC
from <customer>... they say it is their ad with their logos in it, but
when I open it up it looks weird," or often "Craig, I've got this DOC
logo - can you save it so Production can open it?".

*arrrggghhhh*.

The number of people who, when asked for an image file, drag an image
into MS Word and email the resulting MS Word document never ceases to
astound me.

I suspect the result will be "your Linux-format DOC file crashed my
computer..."
