    Word is great if you only have words in it. Add a picture? A chart or graph? Suddenly your words have become lemmings with oppositional defiant disorders and jump off the margins.

    You clearly don’t know how use Word :P

    Trust me it has a learning curve, once you learn how to align things properly and use the provided options in reasonable ways it doesn’t fail, ever.
