The documents need to be editable, our customers are very big companies receiving very large 150+ page .ppt's.tens of thousands of people can't all sit in on the one presentation, and different depts. want to see different info. The clients then break them down in to small presentations that get passed on, edited, passed on again to people who need to see the edited edited version and so on.
Also as far as office users are concernced the formats are the same, they only have a problem if a very old format is used. I never know anyone use an older version. We still use the office 97-203 version not the new office 2007 versions. And this would only be a problem in the future if someone was to downgrade their programmes. I never met anyone who did that. And when I think about it I have never updated office, and no one I know has. They just get new versions when they get a new computer. So it doesn't matter if the format's change.
