I have found that I need to keep my resume in three forms:

ASC-II text for cutting-and-pasting into web forms.
HTML for my website.
Microsoft Word for employers to download off my website.

If you're feeling enterprising...Adobe Acrobat PDF's are good to 
have,  too...but MS-Word is far and away the most requested format for 
resumes that I've found.

I job-hunt near exclusively in high-tech, though.
