If the intention is for the recipient to edit the document, a decision has already been made on what format to use.

But for EVERYTHING else, sending out a proprietary format is just plain rude and ineffective. I especially hate it when people link Office documents off a website.

No, not everyone has Office, and no we don't want to buy that crap software suite.
