You don't have to license your own copy just for this. I have no other interest in using Word, so when someone wants my updated résumé only in .doc format, I just pay a couple bucks to do that on one of Kinko's machines. Some libraries offer this as well.

The problem is that I need to maintain the resume in doc format. Copy and Paste from OpenOffice into Word screws up the formatting so I need to spend time correcting that, but then adding or changing information also requires I have Word. Might as well just shell out the money.

Also, FYI: OpenOffice.org exporting to Word Doc includes the revision history. Make sure to clear that if you don't want potential employers snooping your resume back in time.
