Word can also muck up your formatting that you've taken time to fine-tune on your resume.
In a previous job I looked at thousands of resumes give me a PDF every time.
One thing and this might be common sense (but so often it would get overlooked). Treat your email like your cover letter. I used to get tons where there was no message - just a resume attached. No message. No "HEY I NEED A JOB". Nothing. Needless to say they were all sent to the circular file.
