Or OpenOffice. Save as -> MS Word 97/2000/XP. Okay, the proprietary document format sucks, but its not exactly hard to read and write from Linux. Nor has it has it been for years. If I was a recruiter, and somebody told me Linux couldn't read / write MS word files, and they weren't going to use something that could, I wouldn't wish to hire that person (best tool for the job, etc), and I'd conclude that Linux was obviously unworkable as a desktop platform.
