I quite agree. I have almost always returned documents to clients in a
format one or two versions back from the most recent format, and I’m
talking about Microsoft formats here.
It is discourteous to assume that everyone must be using the most
recent formats of any product and most people will comply and also
send you documents a version or so back, if they realize that that
what they are doing is causing difficulty.
New clients almost always ask what formats we like documents in.
According to what I read a while ago, some scientific journals are
refusing articles that have been created with Office 2007, because the
math editor is incompatible with the publishing software, even if saved
in the old .DOC format.
