Sending out resumes in this way is not user-friendly at all. It presumes
the possession of a certain Word template, you didn't check before at
your recipients.
This is the same arrogant style in building web-pages for "IE-only",
excluding all others in the world.
Are these people really consumer-oriented? No, they are just close-eyed
professionals without being true tech-writers...
My thesis.
Happy Christmas,
