Just as an aside I would suggest maybe next time to use the security 
angle. Instead of getting blue in the face about the virtues of not 
using .doc, explain how metadata is bad, and how your personal secrets 
can be revealed.

Then I would mention what steps they are taking in protecting their 
information. I find this angle to be of great use as most places are not 
very security aware especially when it comes to documents. Then you can 
always ask what metadata cleaning tools they incorporate to protect 
against such things.
