No, a word processor is a very poor tool for reasoning through the solutions to technical problems, compared to paper or a blackboard. You need to be able to draw, doodle, make tables and charts, write with whatever symbols you can imagine, etc.
Once you have a solution in hand, you can use computer drawing tools to make a polished version for publication. But that's a different problem than the original reasoning.
