I often have to edit Lotus Notes and Lotus WordPro documents (and obviously
someone is writing those docs), but I don't recall ever seeing them
mentioned on this list. (Not that we're obsessing about tools or anything
<grin>.)
The WordPro docs are business docs, proposals, procedures, that sort of
thing, mostly. The Notes stuff is user docs for Notes-based applications.
Yes, these tool choices are "thrust upon me" by the client.
