subject: Instructions for Users of Word 2007/DOCX

===
Because of changes Microsoft has made in its recent Word release that are
incompatible with our internal workflow, which was built around previous
versions of the software, Science cannot at present accept any files in the
new .docx format produced through Microsoft Word 2007, either for initial
submission or for revision. Users of this release of Word should convert
these files to a format compatible with Word 2003 or Word for Macintosh
2004 (or, for initial submission, to a PDF file) before submitting to
Science.

Users of Word 2007 should also be aware that equations created with the
default equation editor included in Microsoft Word 2007 will be
unacceptable in revision, even if the file is converted to a format
compatible with earlier versions of Word; this is because conversion will
render equations as graphics and prevent electronic printing of equations,
and because the default equation editor packaged with Word 2007 -- for
reasons that, quite frankly, utterly baffle us -- was not designed to be
compatible with MathML....

Typical of Microsoft, thinking the world revolves around Redmond, WA.
