Engineers as authors

[Lin Sims]

You can lock it down. We've done something similar where I work--created a
Word template with the styles named the same way as in our Frame template,
and then locked the Word template to prevent on-the-fly formatting. The
engineers vacillate between loving it (everything's already set up! yay!)
and hating it (why can't I use Bold anymore? Wah!), but it surely makes
life easier for US.
