Hi Eva. You could show your scientists how to use AutoCorrect to avoid
having to type certain phrases repeatedly:
soi = Southern Oscillation Index
You could volunteer to edit some of these documents. I bet you'll
quickly get a feel for what the writers do wrongly or awkwardly or
laboriously.
Do these expert opinions have to include footnotes, equations, a
bibliography? Do the authors find it easy to work with these or does
Word fight them? You could research shortcuts and workarounds.
