I beg to differ.  Our office staff (secretaries, administrative assistants,
and faculty) have been using troff for years, including grap, pic, etc.
They have no complaints, and like the ability to easily interface to
data generated by other programs.

My 10 year old son uses troff to type his book reports, with the -mm
macro package.  Took about 15 minutes of instruction to get him
going with the basics.  (He likes emacs for entering text, too).

All it takes is for your office personnel to have just a *little*
bit of incentive.  Give them a little bit of credit.
