The only reason I can see for ever not allowing Word
files, or any other files created by a company's
software, is if they get on our backs about converting
the file types, or charging us for using them. But
until we get into trouble for doing it, we'll have to
put philisophical dislikes of M$ aside to get as many
articles into GNE and Nupedia as possible!
