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.
