Yes, right now the AuthorIT > PDF workflow goes through Word (something
that's due to change with version 5 and a direct-to-PDF publisher). However,
none of the inherent Word problems exist...numbering is correct, bullets are
correct, styles are correct, etc. The documents don't get corrupted because
you don't do any work in them...all work is done in AIT.
