It's strange how it's still regarded as something very awkward, years after its introduction... I now just have to wait around for them to convert. It's to be expected when you change a very well established format like that, though.
Some clients even like to send screenshots as a paste into DOCX... though their unbeatable record is of sending a PDF of a scan of a printed screenshot of a list of text.
Every computer at the university uses Office 2007, so I had no excuse not to use it when communicating on class projects (it was a pain in the ass when I was still on Office and got sent .docx files -- not sure if it's included it in recent versions).
That said -- always use the old format when communicating with the FE gang. And if I want to play it safe and figure no one else will be editing it, I'll just play it safe and PDF the file.
