Git.
- ghaff 4y agoThat's such a practical answer for a large firm of lawyers who are used to Word. Hard to believe no one ever thought of it.
- Digory 4y agoI thought you were commenting on the unavailability of version control for plain text, not the psychological inertia of the users. It would take decades of therapy to wean some lawyers off WordPerfect, let alone Word. But that's more because it's a habit-verging-on-compulsion, not because WYSIWYG software has cornered the market on version control. (Really, was WorldDocs truly any better than git?) It would be better for everyone if documents were stored in plain text, formatted to the reader's liking by the reader, and edited with format-agnostic tools.
