Yes. Tracking changes is big. I did some development editing on Idiot's Guides and that's what guaranteed I'd stay glued to Word the whole time. Friends in publishing tell me OpenOffice has it down now, but when I first tried to use it with another publisher some time ago it screwed up so spectacularly that I haven't trusted it since. I use iWork now, but much more as a hybrid DTP tool than a word processor, and I haven't done any collaborating with it. If you ever need a guinea pig to experiment with on that, let me know. I don't mind opening a doc up and making a few changes to see what comes out. Ugh. Yes. Tracking changes is big.
