Hi,
This decision is extremely technical. Saving as DOC is *extremely* hard to do,
and I just don't have enough free time to work on it enough. Perhaps if you'd
like to throw a few thousand dollars my way I'd work on it more, but until then
you'll have to just save as RTF (which is a MSFT standard anyway) and be
patient.
