TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Rather than knowing or not knowing Word, I'd say that the bigger advantage is to not be tied to a tool. Remember, it's a tool. There will always be other, newer, (hopefully) better tools. It's the communication that matters.

I find the following an incredibly depressing statement, not because communicators have little knowledge of MS Word, but because this software ever managed to become "the primary tool most of us use."
