Weirdly enough I know someone with a book published by a big programming book company, and they accept manuscripts in Word only.

This is likely unrelated to typesetting: it’s for the track changes feature. The final files that go to the printer are probably not produced by word.

Oh yeah that's for sure. And since they have a house style for everything it'd be a bit silly to faff about making your \lstset look just so when the printer would need to re-set (reset?) all of it.
