Err, we just use TortoiseSVN for document management. The documents go in with the source code.
You can merge stuff, have multiple authors working on the same document, get a full revision history and do all that other junk that Google docs does. Plus it's in house, works over the web (over https) and can safely be delivered over our VPN solution without having to rely on a 3rd party like Google for security, storage and availability.
There is a LOT of benefit in being able to wake up our sysadmin and fix something that is down rather than wait on Google to do it.
Word costs us virtually nothing thanks to MAPS[1] from microsoft which gives us 10x Vista, 10x Office for $350 the lot (for internal use) and a couple of copies of windows 2008 server and an exchange license.
There's no point in fishing out $100 for mathtype - Word 2007 is very close now.
