I agree with Glenn. I get a lot of documents from other departments -
development, implementation - to rework, and we would have a visual
nightmare if I had not created Word styles I can apply consistently.
Yes, I use FrameMaker for my documents, but I believe I am the only one in
the company who does.

Secondly, just because I hardly use Word at home doesn't mean that it
doesn't rear its ugly head at work regularly. I haven't had a tech
writing job that didn't have Word in the workflow somewhere, even if it
was a spec from an engineer. Time spent re-working these documents to
use styles consistently often pays short and long-term dividends. It
makes conversion easier. More importantly, it can be used as a better
basis for all other doc's coming from that engineer.
