I use OpenOffice.org. It handles Excel, et al, and like AbiWord, costs
infinitely less than MS Office.

You're right. My automatic translator kicked in, and I assumed something
readable by MSWord. On Windows, Wordpad will do -- it does RTF, and even
Notepad, which produces Word-readable plain text. I don't have MSWord on
my machine. When I need something like that -- for reading, mostly -- I
use a free near clone, AbiWord (GNU license). http://www.abisource.com/

No Jerry. It far from ideal. They demand a CV in MS Word format. If
they won't accept a submission in something nearer universal, like
PDF, I consider their attitude rather poor. That said, it is a much
more informative job posting than most we see.

This is an ideal job posting. The requirements are comprehensively
listed and geographical information is provided. I hope you get your new
people. Come back when there are more openings (only next time, if you
must have a preamble, make it more like "I hope it's OK to post this
here").
