I wish people would invest a little time in learning LaTeX. I deal with documentation all day and even from within the same department, it is all a mish-mash of different things (produced mostly in Word), with no standardization whatsoever.
With LaTeX, you could have centralized version control of all documents, with centralized control of standard style sheets. Of course, that will never happen as long people believe that they have a pressing need for WYSIWYG. Of course, I can't remember who said it (maybe Leslie Lamport), WYSIWYG is better stated as WYSIAYG---what you see is *all* you get. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
