Can they do that in Word? (update)

Rant: As a designer I am being asked more and more often whether the corporate branding (letterheads, faxes, etc) that I design can then be re-created in Word by the client. And if the answer is no (or at ‘not without some effort’) the whole project has to be dumbed down so that an non-designer with no interest in the final outcome can replicate a design (where considerable thought and effort has gone into leading, tracking, kerning and above all typefaces) in MSWord, a programme that has been developed so one cannot create your wildest dreams. It's a sad state of affairs, and more to the point it saddens me that they get away with it. They pay the bills after all.

Following that I decided to do something about it. I have a solution: InDesign+Acrobat 8+Forms Yay!
