Word documents can sometimes seem like an inevitability of modern business, but at least one person things that doesn't have to be so. Research scientist Tristan Miller has put together a page called Please don't send me Microsoft Word documents that explains to would-be attachment-senders why Word is a bad format to send to your colleagues and what alternatives there are. Though I'm sure some readers won't agree with everything he says, and some businesspeople won't buy a word of it (or just not care), if you hate getting Word files it's a handy link to give to their senders.
