Yeah, print it off and send it in a puzzle box. If they can't open it they're not worth bothering with anyway

Good to see some latex/tex users. Computer guys and academics unite!

That said I always convert it to pdf!

People who insist on .doc probably don't know what there doing, or the hassle it can cause in terms of formatting.

Send it as a pages file because then they will know you own a Mac and think you are extra cool.

Always best to send it as a DOC if going to a large company. They have applicant tracking systems to log your info and they deal with DOC files much better than PDFs

It seems like an incredibly sensible question to me :confused:
