Re: Distributed authoring using Word and Domino?

Thanks for everyone's comments.  Getting responses from a wide range of people 
certainly covers a lot of ground.

The approach that has been mentioned to me by management is to use Word as an 
authoring tool, and Domino as a repository.  This is basically because we have 
these tools rolled out.

Cheers

Geoff
