I still remember when I was binding my thesis. The printing shop offered the option to engrave text on the book cover. But they only accepted Word documents as template for it. I gave up as soon as I tried to do smallcaps in Word.
The thesis was nicely typeset in LaTeX and it would have been ridiculous to make the cover look far worse than the actual text.
The engraving was supposed to be something like 3€ per line. But it didn't even support basic typographic features because of Word. That was just ridiculous. That's why my thesis has a plain cover and the shop lost 12€ (- expenses) per copy.
