I've been working with a company's processes. Since processes often
involve several documents, we've decided to put the processes on the
intranet (in HTML format) and then we link to the most current version
of the document/form where users can retrieve (but not edit) the
document.
This serves two purposes. First everyone knows what the most current
process is, and it is also a form of document/version control. I heard
a collective sigh of relief when I suggested this method to the company.
