This may not affect many, but it might if part of your life is writing
for publication. The new Microsoft Office 2007 for Vista produces
Word files that are incompatible with any other version of Word.
Several prestigious journals have already announce that they will not
accept submission in the .docx format that is the default for WinWord
2007. (MacWord 2007 won't even be available until next summer or
fall.) I ran into it when students started sending me assignments
that I couldn't open. If anyone is interested, check out

And note that even when your file is saved in the older .doc format,
equations and special symbols are messed up.

Thanks, John. I had just received a Word file I couldn't open and
wondered what was going on. I sent the sender your link.
