I tried it awhile back but since I have always have MS Office, I didn't really give it a fair test. The MS Works solution is a possible but I think the formatting is at a very different level. Most of the time, my clients are trying to open one of my resumes in Works and wonder where all the formatting went to and why it looks totally different.
