I'm not going to take the bait and get entangled in this argument. I, too,
use Word for many projects and have a given mastery of the application. If
you enjoy using it for application documentation and your superiors approve
of your output, then bully for you.
Anyone looking for a thorough evaluation can check the archives; this topic
