No where did I say we had to use Microsoft Word ;) We simply need to be able
to export the content into PDFs.
Open Office will export to PDF. It does Word documents decent enough unless you add
graphics, etc. It native format is 100% text, so it will work well with any version
control system.
However, if we are going to be using a word
processor, it does need to be user friendly. I really wanted to get away
from using a word processor because the documents in mind have a very strict
layout. Also we are still stuck running windows 98 so that becomes a
requirement.
But it's probably too late for that.
Currently, I use the free version of Perforce for all version control (source code and
documentation. The free version allows two users and 5 clients, which is fine since I'm
the only person that needs to check things in or out of it. One bonus for using Perforce
are the plugins available for my IDEs (for source code) and for M$ Office for documents
(though I often uses Open Office).
For our multi-user version control, we're using Subversion.
