Now why would you need to publish word documents on the Web?

If you really want controle over the way a document looks then I'd say
PDF would be a better choise. There are PDF viewers on all major
platforms - How many does the 'free' .doc viewer support? My guess is 2.

We try to make our web sites browser neutral (well I do), so the same
rules should be applyed when publishing documents on the web.
