It's been my own experience that "requests" (actually "directives") for using
only Word came from the Marketing Dept and/or others who didn't believe that
Tech Pubs could do the job and demanded the ability to go in and "correct
things" as they saw fit. And because "everybody knows Word", well, that was
that. (I remember looking at some of their "corrections" and I'm glad not to be
there and take the "hate calls" from totally confused customers.)
