I go the opposite way. Google Docs works fine in my web browser, but if it's a Word doc, I need to hunt down something that can read it. I've yet to find any browser that can't handle a GDocs "publish" page, but I have plenty of computers that don't have any {Open|Libre|Liber|Libra|whatever the next generation is}-Office installed. Best is to put the information into your email/post. Next best is to have a link to the information. Definitely worst is to force people to download your file and try to read it.
