Since the spreadsheet people can't get their act together (or rather
don't want to as making life hard on users is seen as good business
strategy) there is no real solution for this. Usually there is an
option to export something in a format enough years old it might be
portable. 

For DTP I'd ship postscript, I've never been in a position where it
made sense for more than one person to do the final layout editing.

If you know what software they use (and presumably have gone out and
got it yourself to create the macros) then the problem goes away of
course.
