I write all of my own material as well, and designed my own format which 
works well for me and the crews with whom I work.
I use MSWord and just created five or six macros that get me to the part of 
the page, and in the correct font, etc.  Obviously, working with a software 
that others tend to use is helpful, but doesn't your software even export 
to RTF (Rich Text Format), plain text,
or DOS text  or some similar format that indicates it is text only?  If it 
did, the others could then easily import it into their own word processing 
programs.
