If possible, don't use Word or any kind of WYSIWYG editor. They focus too much on how things look like, and too little on how things are structured. So it's easy to get errors into your document, e.g. by indenting with spaces instead of setting an indent property, because in the WYSIWYG it just looks the same either way. Once you put that on your reader you will pay dearly for those errors, as readers only care about the structure.
Use a text editor with syntax highlighting and write HTML. Or if that's too hard, go with something like reStructuredText, Markdown or similar. Anything is fine as long as it does not hide the structure from you.
If you absolutely have to stay with Word, then learn how to structure things with Word properly without using tricks like spaces. It's not impossible to do, just incredibly hard as making "invisible" mistakes is so easy in Word.
