I cant sing the praises of latex highly enough. The fundamental problem with Word is that it encourages you write first, layout later ( which never works well ) and creating multiple consistent documents is difficult.
I use LyX, aside from a horrible installation process it works fantastically well. You just write. Let LyX handle the layout issues. It can be a little counter intuitive, but as of the latest version is really good. Say goodbye to your formatting woes.
