Why? Surely 90%+ of all businesses use Word (blinking Bill gets

don't think Word can open ODF files. So it would seem to make sense to
send any correspondence to companies as a DOC file.

Far more sense to send it as a .pdf, not quite as easy to edit and far
more likely to appear the same on their machine as it does on yours.
