A draft formatted with Word recently crossed my
path, and the formatting was *so* bad that the
document wasn't readable (for some reason something
in the Word -> text process deleted all vertical
whitespace). I reformatted it with nroff under
UWIN, which really worked very well and held no
surprises whatsoever. So, it's not even necessary
to have access to a Unix or Unix-ish OS to use
nroff for document production.

This one is because of a bad printer driver in Windows until 2K.
Win2K generic text printer does not have this problem. Don't ask me
how I know.
