If you want to do a 'quick' version - use Word and heading levels.
Write the text general-to-particular at all levels such that you end up with:
X.1 headings for summary printouts, directors to read etc sales to 'get the
idea'
X.2 business analysts
X.3 IT managers
X.4 Developers etc
you can then select what heading levels you want to print out etc. and so get
four documents out of one.
For maintenance purposes you need to keep as much together as possible, with
specialist documents (e.g. programmers API guides) etc only when needed.
you can also use macros to customise if need be (e.g. extract ALL of the X1 and
X.4 levels into a single document for developers where they get a summary and
then the details they need)
