A friend of mine used Microsoft Word to write a few books. Each book was a single file, and he would bitch about the problems all the time. I think he still uses Word.

To paraphrase Churchill, Word is the worst text processor, except for all others that have been tried.
What could a publisher possibly do with a word file, except laboriously copy/paste the text into a typesetting program?
