manage different formats and translations   

Hi all,
I'm starting to generate documentation that later will also have to be 
trasnlated to other languages different than the original one so I'd like to 
have a master copy and then versions that would permit me to track changes, 
items pending to translate, .... I'd like also to do it in a way that later 
could be easy to choose the delvering format (richtext, pdf, html, xml, chm, 
...) but basing all on the same source data so when I'd have to make a future 
change/update wouldn't it mean a complex task. Does it Word permit to work 
like this? Do you know/use any documentation tool or additional MSWord Plugin 
or there's no way for doing this in Word? 

thanks in advance,
      Marc Soleda
