I'd just ignore - in my (10+ years) experience, if a company insist on sending CV in Word format only, they're not worth the effort at all.The main point of (La)TeX is exactly insisting on the form. Do you think that you know more about typography and related stuff than one of the most brilliant computer science minds (D. Knuth), that spent 10 years in learning about the domain, and building a computer program to obey the rules?LaTeX has some excellent packages for writing CVs; for some examples see here: Using the LaTeX Resume Templates . I think any of these fares well with regards to "no compromise on the look"; and again - IMO, if an employer encountered that "look" of CV is that important to them, I don't think they're worth the effort.(Note, however, also: if a prospective employer appears that insist on sending Word CV, and you really, really think it's worth the hassle, then you could easily find number of places on the net offering free PDF, generated by LaTeX, conversion to Word format...)
