I barely remember now if we are talking about documents that need to be
edited by users. My assumption was that we are not. I was merely focusing on
making the job easier/better for the IA and producing, perhaps, a PDF at the
end that encompasses all sorts of graphics and text neatly collated in one,
hopefully, scalable document. My workflow is such that the recipients of the
docs I deliver/present never get to edit them directly. I believe in the
power/utility of verbal discussion over docs.

I do use Word, once or twice a year. Please don't get me started on my
feelings about it :-)
