Good Evening

Likely you will have to 'teach' your 'users' some 'new tricks'.

But yes your best option is for you to create templates that 'work for you'

It can be done with Word, OpenOffice, .tex, LaTex, Lyx, and other systems.

The 'best option' is to process the document out of the document and
into a plain text editor.

On Windows the application is "notepad"

Then you can save it as a "text.txt" file

Logically create chapters, sections, parts to the work with LaTex,
Lyx, or Tex commands

\section{Section Title}

Then once it is drafted you can start making it "pretty"

First by saving the work as work.tex

then either using  tex2dvi to view

then  dvi2ps

then gs ps pdf

or just pdflatex  work.tex  "note that suffixes are not necessary as
Windows requires "



Here are some quick resources for learning how to "tec" and "lyc"

Your mileage may vary, but good luck

Warm regards,

Justin
