No they won't. I've done this in the past, and I've received resumes in .doc format, and I've written back telling the candidate that their application wasn't considered because I couldn't read their resume.

i do this regularly with tenders and quotations - just return saying i am unable to open it. I get replies in pdf. No big deal. But I dont do it with job applications - cant afford to frighten away anyone (our salaries are a trifle lower than yahoo!)
