Suzanne, that assumes that the other contributors are willing to use the
features. I've worked on a document with one other individual and it's
been a nightmare because he hasn't used the additional features.

I think these features may work properly only if all the other
contributors
also have Word 2003.

Now, however, the publisher has hired a freelance editor and a
marketing
consultant, both of whom are contributing new material and editing
existing
material. Strangely, none of these new users (publisher, editor,
consultant) understands styles - in fact, it turns out they don't even
know
styles exist. Nor do they know about the collaboration aids in Word,
or
about bullets, or about automatic caption, or self-updating fields.

I have yet to test this thoroughly in real-life projects, but the new
protection-features of Word 2003 Prof. might be worth investigating in
your situation.
