Are you empowered to send around a list of acceptable formats? There are
issues
with receiving materials from the unwashed masses in *any* format--but the
fewer
you have to deal with, the less hassle. (PowerPoint...ick.) 

I'll leave the FrontPage issues to someone else. My policy on FrontPage is
to
avoid it at all costs. I've had to clean up after too many FrontPage-created

messes in the past.
