I would not recommend subversion for "text"-like things which are not
bare text. While svn certainly /can/ do things like this, it would treat
all files as binary, so a lot (though certainly not all) of the
usefulness would be gone.
Word[for example] is a common enough format that I'm sure there are some
version control systems which are format-aware of Word[for example] files.
Though I can't say with certainty, having not actually used it,
"SharePoint" comes to mind.
