>But it required skilled Office users
and stable and robust Office applications specifically Word...
When I worked in pre-sales we were often putting together multi-section documents that at times spanned 3~4 80mm lever arch files. The pain was pulling it all together on early 1990's Windows systems, however, it demonstrated that Word whilst good for letters, CV's and short reports was out-of-its depth with these larger compound documents. It was a shame that integration with Desktop Publishing software wasn't as simple as OLE.
Reminds me that even now MS don't really have a Desktop Publishing solution - is there one for OpenOffice/LibreOffice?
