VM? Or, doesn't OO save in at least some old word format (6.0 will be more than ok for a CV)?

I think you are confusing your cursade anti-MS (legitimate like any other opinion) with the simple fact that expecting a de-facto standard to be used is just reasonable, not crazy.

If a recruiter needs an editable file of your CV, what would you expect them to ask you? Anything other than Word, in 2010, would be less convenient. Not only, like anybody - be it nerd, geek, or technophobic - a recruiter is not supposed to share your opinion on MS or Word, they are not supposed to even even know about it, because their expertise is elsewhere.

In any case, RTF will work. You may trick them by renaming it .DOC and Word will open it all the same, with or w/o some complaining, depending on the version.
