Perhaps it's more that there's no security to a .doc(x) file -- anyone
can change it practically at will --, as opposed to a .pdf?

I get the impression that .doc files can't be used for electronic

I am not talking about security.

In Word 2007 you can mark a compatibility mode document as final. They
imply its readonly. But, if you have custom autotext, Word still
tries to do an automatic update of the autotext fields and changes the
"readonly" document.

I think the real problem is that .doc is just not suitable for
electronic delivery. PDF would be better.
