Update:

Several days ago, my boss gave me a beatdown because one of our shared documents displayed the .docx file suffix (my fault, of course), and the chosen font was not supported by Google (i.e. no bold, underline, italics). Afterward, I pretty much conceded defeat, and have been trying my best to get used to Google's menu structure. My plan (for now) is to work on text only in Word, and paste edits into our shared docs. I've also made "Roboto" my new choice sans-serif font:

For PPTs that I don't make myself, the new drill is going to be comments only (i.e. let the designers deal with design).

Spreadsheets are my last remaining stand (i.e. if anyone wants my help, expect an xlsx).
