This question may be similar to the one you've already been asked earlier in the interview. Interviewers will often ask several questions about the same topic to collect additional information about the topic. This also helps them to correlate your answers and confirm that you are being consistent throughout the interview. When asked about the tools you use, processes and procedures you follow, and other operational aspects of the job, the interviewer is also trying to see if your methodologies match theirs. After you answer this question, you may want to ask the interviewer to confirm this.

"There are several content creation tools I use. These include Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat, WordPress, and others. Many of these tools have templates I can start the project with. They also allow me to create and store templates for future use. Some tools enable easy collaboration with the other project stakeholders by placing the documents online and allowing other individuals to review or edit them. I'm curious, are the tools I use similar to the ones other technical writers in your organization use?"
