Ebook formats do not support most of the layout and font controls available in high power word processors like MS Word. It's not so much a matter of calibre's abilities as it is the limitations of the final output format.

You may find that using a simpler word processor that has far fewer special functions is better for you than simply learning to limit what features you use in Word. If you are working on Windows, you might give the often overlooked WordPad app a look. Its feature set is much more basic and its RTF files are vastly simpler than Word's.
