All ms office programs can import and export universal formats, ie. plain text and comma delimited database and spreadsheet files. I have always thought using these universal formats should come under the reasonabnle accommodation provisions of the ada. I once worked in an office where I forced the issue that all memos etc. should be sent me on floppies in plain text, easily done as a save from all word processing programs, and I likewise sent memos by floppies by which to be printed using those same wp programs. All were happy and all equally informed by this simple accommodation.
