When I was applying at many of the big engineering firms last year, several of them wanted a copy pasted, text only version of my resume. Maintaining a copy of the resume in good plaintext form is always a bonus. Well worth the slight bother when updating.

Another advantage to keeping a plaintext copy is that it can be quickly formatted however an employer may require it.
