Microsoft Word files are designed for office/business documents (letters, memos, etc) and are not generally suitable for publishing applications. However, Word is often the only application that authors have ever seen (apart from their browser and mailer), and many will even be unaware that any other software exists.
This document explains how to use Named Styles in a template to create and edit Word documents to a level usable for publication, and (for e-journal publishers) how to create and distribute a template of styles for authors themselves to use.
