You could try making it in LaTex, output to PDF, and converting that to Word. The tables would probably have to be reformatted, and the actual formatting would be atrocious from a desktop publishing perspective (footnotes would be loose text at the bottom of the page, not linked to their numbers), but it'd probably *look* right.
If you need it more correctly formatted than that, you could use Open Office, which is similar to Word in structure & workflow but less full of MS's peculiar approach to some formatting concepts. (And free. And if teacher complains, tell him not everyone can afford Microsoft Office.)
