This may not be the best of all solutions. But, I require any customer
using my FAX facilities to send in Postscript format. WinWord, in all
incarnations, has postscript printer drivers. I make my users use them. I
get some gripes, but I don't get the problem you're complaining of either.
I am working on another choice (PDF) but not all my WinWord users have
Acrobat3/PDFwriter and it *is* quite expensive(~$300).
If you wanted to be sadistic, you could force plain-text <evil grin>.
Right now, I'm trying to get sendmail to bounce WinWord attachments to my
FAX service.
