SVN and word

Hi ! I'm back.
Since the TH-55 is officially dead, I was not able to make my long serie of tips... Nevermind, I will now post links about the technical problems I encounter. The first is the problem of the documentation management in a IT project. I know that if you use a real tool such as LaTeX or Docbook you don't have any problem, even CVS works. But now that I'm an IT professional I must use the mââârvelous Microsoft word !! And of course, as the files are binaries you don't know what happens... In fact you know, for example it's a disaster with plain CVS. There might exist a solution but I don't know it.
However, the problem is different with subversion. According to the following pages it is possible and it works ok.

I will try and tell more on this subject. But I'm confident.
