Not just schools.

I am currently job hunting and have lost count of the number of times my CV has been rejected or ignored by the agencies as it is in PDF format. Without exception they have all demanded Word format.
Not .DOC but specific WORD.
Who is to say that the teacher in question actually understands the concepts involved, after all courses are no longer on word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheets etc but are on WORD, PUBLISHER, EXCEL as the schools have got that software and it is unlikely that the teachers have actually seen or used anything else.
