Excel is, in some sense, a programming language for (mostly) purely functional incremental computations with built in debugger that shows you most intermediate values. Word is not very much like that so the contents of such a thing would surely be different. I think the first tip is probably something like ‘create named styles instead of mutating the formatting of regions ad-hoc’.
