: Re: Can MS Word perform single-source help authoring? My company is using Microsoft Word to manage thousands of documents that ultimately end up publishing only to a couple outputs: primarily PDF

Standards and tech such as DITA and XSL-FO can help. XML is purely content. Formatting and styles at the time of publishing can be applied as desired. It'll do away with formatting efforts. Authors can update content freely without being bogged down by formatting and also being assured that the formatting will happen consistently and separately.

There are ample open-source, free tools to support these use cases. The community is caring and strong so there is no dearth of know-how to deploy and productionize with the help of free knowledge.

I'd strongly recommend against using MS Word for any single-sourcing use cases.
