I don't see why they couldn't use some simple markup in Notepad :) Alternatively, of course, if I pursue the Wiki route, they won't use Word at all to edit them. General observation: these are not strictly controlled documents; they're informal technical notes that people write whenever a particularly tricky task is performed, the goal being to prevent unnecessary reinvention of wheels.

I'd go with Boxley's suggestion myself, and I actually do something similar at work (have a very simple web page with pointers to sections of .DOC, .XLS, .PPT, .PDF, etc., documents). Cheers, Scott.

History shows again and again how Nature points out the folly of men.
