Not a developer - I'm a project manager in a high tech industry. A lot of my time is dealing with reports and projects where somebody decided that they didn't quite like how a title of a table was formatted and so made their own "fixes" which looked ok on their machine. Or they couldn't understand some remote object linking functionality so they converted the spreadsheet into an image and embedded that. I suspect a lot of companies, and certainly most goverment offices, would be more efficient if the people who write pretty much standard letters to customers/claimants didn't have the same MS-office install as somebody editing 10,000 page technical reports for an Airbus A380. You can (or at least we used to) customize the menus/toolbars for Word to make a simplified version for secretaries that were really happier with typewriters.
