LOL.

Do NOT get me started on modern versions of MSWord featuring that [self censored expletive] ribbon interface.
An old copy of MSWord 2000 running on Windows 2000 inside VirtualBox is much faster (and that includes startup of that Windows ;-) ) than all those newfangled "ribbonized" versions that try to "help" you to be more productive.

But the main principles remains the same regardless of what version of MSW (or any other word processor or book authoring software) you are using.
- Keep. It. Simple.
- Use the very basic features of program (such as styles) as they are supposed to be used.
- Keep formatting outside a small number of well-defined styles to absolute minimum.
