Or have some of the editing and collaborative functions of MS Word, such as inserting Comments, and Tracking Changes, replaced some of the need for the specialized programs? Do you use other writing programs in your lab, such as ones to help develop a story a step at a time, such as StoryWeaver? Do you have other comments on the advantages of using such programs over word processors (Word, AppleWorks, WordPerfect, etc.), if any? I'm interested in feedback from ESL/EFL and foreign language teachers and lab personnel.
