Speaking of Word, enjoy this.

Make PDF's of what you want to print. Then open them up with Acrobat Reader and print however many you want.
I had to use Word to write my dissertation, and it was a nightmare. This trick was the only way I could get some things to print right.
See my webpage (http://www.geocities.com/mobrien_12) for instructions on how to set up PDF generation using free (free of charge and free-as-in-speech) software.

I generally like Word, though I've started using Pages. However, I've had some horrific experiences with it when editing large documents (100 pages or more), especially if they contain many equations, graphs, illustrations, and indexing.
If working on a dissertation, and you're in a scientific field, LaTeX is really the best option from what I've seen.

Definitely, that's something I need to start to get my head around pretty quickly. The GUI frontends are crappy.
