I wouldn't do version control that way, but I've used Word to keep track of what I'm working on during integration tasks. It's nice because you can drop in code, error messages, and screen captures. E.g.: the tool looks like this: (image) but gives an error like this: (error message) and I think the problem is in file.py around lines XYZ: (code snippet) when I run the command (command used), and I think the answer is in (a couple links I found).
I've used word/onenote or FOSS equivalents the same way, they're fine as a scratchpad for notes. As you said it's nice being able to shove images in there. There are so many things that don't belong anywhere else that I will forget after even a half hour break.
