Manuscript formats

I am burning text cd's to send to many different people. What would be an
universal format that would work for anyone? My manuscript is in Word.

text (txt) or RTF (Rich text Format)

I would try either plain text (guaranteed to work for everyone), rtf (will
work for Windows users at least) or PDF (anyone in any format who can
download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will be able to read it).

I would NOT leave it in Word.

Cheers,

Output in PDF and include the Foxit reader on the CD.
