In fact, most recruiters in the US do too. In case you don't know why,
they like to strip out any personally identifying information (email
address, phone number) so the prospective employers do not contact the
candidate out-of-band, and they don't have any tools at their disposal
but MS Word.

I would *love* to find a technical recruiter who spoke OpenOffice, or
LaTeX. (I've long ago had to bite the bullet and made my CV into a
.doc file...)
