Are you suggesting that they use MS-Word format because somebody else uses it, 
or are you asking?

Personally, when I look at resumes/CV, if it comes in MS format, I assume that 
that they spend more/most of their time on MS paltform.
About 2/3 of the resumes that I have received have been in text/pdf formats 
which have been perfect for a LINUX job.
Of course, if somebody is looking for any old job with any old place, then MS 
format would be the prefered approach.
