I enjoyed the article and have bookmarked it for
passing on to others.  

I was particularly struck by the paragarph: 

  "To use an analogy, often, when teaching someone how
to use a word-processor, it is difficult to convince
them of the importance of using tabs as opposed to
spaces. To the novice they are both equivalent as they
look the same on screen."

I had just finished looking at a 25+ page CV that we
need to include in a submission.  It was in Word but I
opened it in OOoWriter as a preliminary to exporting
to PDF.  I had a quick look at it and found such
things as

Note the inspired use of tabs to the left and right on
the second line.

Luckily the doc could go as it was.
