AHHHH, OK, now I'm with you.
The obvious next move is Euston Road, so I think I'll pass on that and go
to Goodge Street.

Now is that before or after I did my move to Goodge Street?

Well that forces me to "Street of Alchemists".

And in some situations it probably isn't worth the effort
(=resource/time/money) to support anything in addition to the standard
MS office formats. For example you might need to purchase something to
edit PDF files, then train you staff how to use it, for what, another 5%
of customers who can't write .doc files? If you're operating a print
place then it is probably worth it, but not if you're (eg) a recruitment
agency.

Pivo is also the word for beer in Czech and Russian. Problably in most
other slavic languages, as well.

Indeed it is. With just one word you can survive happily in any of the
slavic nations :-D

So you pay for licenses and train your staff to use MS Office so that
you don't have to train them to use something else?
Completely makes sense.

It makes complete sense if the majority of your customers are sending
you MS Office files, and only a minority want to send you pdf. You'd be
crazy in that situation to only deal with pdf files.

I beg to differ. Firstly, what makes you think that the minority will
switch to the system you have dictated? The most likely scenario is that
they will leave you and find somebody more flexible.
Then, what? Are you going to tell them that they must submit images only
in .png? You'll lose a few more.
Keep on going like that and you'll soon have no customers left.
