Having some chats with people whose CFP submissions didn’t make it. Here’s a really unfortunate gotcha :(
Their entire quite long outline was formatted by Office, and everything from tabs to icons was blown away on conversion to plaintext. Became very hard to read and follow.

We / I wouldn’t reject someone merely because of this, but the flow of the talk was lost.
Just something to look out for - just like your resume, make sure your important info converts to plaintext.
