I am a government attorney by day and a hobby programmer at night. There is absoloutely no way you are going to get any significant number of office workers to use asciidoc and a VCS. It's hard to even get a lot of people trained in Word. The agency has training classes when a new version is installed--which is once every few years. People struggle with stuff like the ribbon. To use asciidoc and a VCS people would have to start from scratch training wise. Not gonna happen. I routinely format sizable documents and have to collaborate on them. Word is an abomination and I hate it. From a technical standpoint other tools are far superior. But a bunch of office workers are not going to learn anything else. It would not be worth the effort. Since MS has no incentive to improve Word I grit my teeth and accept that I will have to deal with its garbage.
