Linguistics Word Macros

[Don Killian]

Dear all,

I'm currently working on an article where the required formatting is in 
Word, a program I'm not very used to at this point.

I typically use LaTeX, a word processing program which has automated 
features for citations, glosses, references, table of contents, etc. 
Once you get used to everything done automatically, the idea of going 
back to doing everything manually is definitely not appealing.

Some of these can be handled in Word, such as the table of contents, but 
I admit that glossing is one area where I don't have any idea if it's 
possible to automate, and I'm reluctant to do everything manually. 
Changing the font or size can destroy layouts if you use manual tabs, 
and I know plenty of people who have spent immense amounts of time 
tweaking documents simply due to formatting issues.

So, my question: are there any macros for linguists which could help 
speed up writing documents when you're using Word?  Particularly for 
glossing?

Thanks for any suggestions you can give!

Best,

Don
