Actually, I would be inclined to think that office personnel are MORE
capable for this type of task than "IT guys". Not only will they have
spent a vast majority of their day working with all types of word
processing software, they would be in their position less single-minded
about one particular brand of software and thereby more open-minded in
their approach.
I can't tell you the number of times I've battled with "IT guys" who
have severe prejudices against things that in fact they don't know about
because they are too lazy to experiment with different solutions to the
same problem.
