I agree with Greg that asking non-LaTeXers to edit a LaTeX document is
asking for trouble.  But I haven't found it very difficult to import
even "major portions" of reports from a word processor files to LaTeX
-- though it can be a lot of work if there's much math or tabular
material involved. 

I agree with Bill that a new fortune has been generated.
