Default Are .doc files shareable?

Looks like there might be problems with using .doc format for
electronic delivery of a document.

Custom autotext fields don't seem to be stored in the .doc file. Also
I read that styles might not be stored in the .doc file. So, the .doc
file might not work in a different environment.

Is this true?

Styles are definitely stored in the document, but AutoText entries cannot
be; for those you need to send a template with the doc.
