No need.  Word has had the concept of a "master document" that links to
subdocuments for some time now.

The point isn't whether Word is powerful enough to do the job; the point is
that Word is just plain not available to a lot of people, and the format is
baroque and bizarre and very, very proprietary.  However, as I don't plan 
to be involved in any book projects (having far too much on my plate as it 
is, and not having anything worthwhile to share anyway) my opinion really
doesn't matter.  I merely suggested DocBook because it works for at least
one major and well-respected publisher of technical books.
