I write everything in Scrivener now, which is Mac-only, so when I send things to betas I usually export it to .doc, but I never write in Word any more. So I can't really answer the first poll.
Although, actually, once in a blue moon if I get an idea at work (or they've run out of work for me to do & I'm really fucking bored), I'll write down whatever snippets I get so I can remember the exact phrasing. Usually I'll write it in pretty sloppy cursive. I can always read my own handwriting, but then no one else knows I'm sitting at my desk writing porn.
I've been using it for over a year now, and it's pretty great -- it converts to html a lot better than Word does, too. I've also been using it to aggo and back up all the threads of the Torchwood RPG.
