Yeah, the default Word style definitely isn't anything like a typeset document. For fun I downloaded the "Latex.dot" template and some computer modern fonts, with those you can make a first approximation of the Latex look in Word but it's still not the same. I've never been a fan of the Computer Modern font but the page layout and formating in Latex is certainly nice and just having a standard for scientific papers is a plus.
