> Does anyone know of some other way we can track Word documents? > Word documents come with built-in revision control and a number of features for tracking the editing history of a document. This integrates much more seamlessly than using a Markdown <- pandoc -> Word bridge would. If you're going to write in Markdown, just use a Markdown editor. You're going to lose too many things in the conversion for it to make sense to author in Word if you will be switching back and forth with Markdown.
I know that SVN had better integration for version control with Word documents, and it's possible you could things up with Git and an svn bridge, but that also seems complicated. I've had good luck with tools like Google Docs for collaborative editing of documents, and there are some other nice online tools emerging for shared authoring of scholarly works. Hope this helps, Aron
