ehem - great, however, there's no such thing like ms word on my
machine - hope it's not too much asking for a pdf-version... *cough*

Nor do you need it. Open Office can handle that sort of file too, and
it is both free and open source, it also runs on every major OS. It
works quite nicely for me using it at home to work on all sorts of MS
format documents generated at work in MS applications.

Which is not to say that your comment about providing a document in
PDF is without merit.

Also, Microsoft distributes free viewers for each of the major office
formats (word, excel, pp, perhaps publisher) that you can use if you
just want to read a file in .doc format. However my best suggestion is
to take Dragon's advice. Open office is quite sufficient for all the
msoffice opening/editing/saving I've had to do. I actually used it to
recover my resume from word 97 format, update and make some changes, and
save it in a word 2003 format without a blink, and it came out quite
well (must have, I got the job and I'm writing from there now :-)
Anyway, you're right. We shouldn't have to rely on and have proprietary
formats forced on us at every turn, but on the other hand pdf is just
another proprietary format that somebody won't want to use.
Unfortunately without an open document format, there's always going to
be somebody saying "Could you give us a Lotus file, or perhaps a
WordPerfect 2.0 compatible file?".
I guess what I'm trying to say is, get Open Office, get an
open-source/non-adobe pdf reader, then download the gimp, blender, and
ubuntu if at all possible :-)
Or we could just get a pdf ;-)
