That wasn't quite my point, but it doesn't matter. I receive .doc and .docx documents. The senders assume I can read them. What do I do? Complain to them or just deal with it. Fortunately, Debian makes it relatively easy to take the latter course of action. Why foul up a relationship? Now send a .dvi file to a Windows user. You will not hear the last of it! The advice you have had is good. Send as PDF; MS might like you to use xps but its optional.
