Any time someone lists "Microsoft Word" as a skill on their resume (other than a secretary, and then I'd expect a lot more detail) my gut reaction is to assume they're the kind of person who enjoys listing accomplishments no matter how deep or meaningful.

Add to the list those who write:
ASP,XML,ORACLE,SAP,Javascript,AWK,GREP,PERL,.Net and few more capitalized abbreviations
In fact beauty is in minimalism. Such as Google which just say C++,Java and Python
(Protip: my vanity meter goes off the scale when the self-promoter is a woman who prominently features her amateur modeling portfolio on a personal website, or intermixes pictures of herself in a bikini in otherwise unrelated content.)
I think the thing to learn here is that noise level for self-promotion is set pretty high. If you think you're bragging too much about an accomplishment...well, you probably aren't. ;-)
