And I think this is true for 99% of all Word documents made. Unfortunately a lot of people still save them in word format.

Another reason as to why I save pretty much everything in rtf (Rich Text Format). I mean, I don't insert tables. The main formating I do is Margins on the page, and the occasional font change (Times New Roman to Garamond or Arial).
Especially when I was still in college, I saved anything I made in OOO into rtf. I always had this problem with saving to .sxc (OOO format) or whatever, and taking it to school for final editing, only to be thwarted at the computer lab by MS Word and their non OOO compliance.
