- Also, I have no clients. I work for a School.

- the few good clients I have are mainly for freelance illustration work. there's really no *.doc info to exchange.

Maybe they would...

gDocs is incredible. the collaborative aspect, updating in essentially 'real-time' is so fantastic when working on remote teams and with the client at same time over technical matters/documenting ideas and change requests.
