not me.  i can't remember the last time i used word, but i do know
it was an exercise in amazing frustration.  the last wp i used that
i liked was writenow for the mac.  fit on a floppy (they wrote it
in assembly for some unknown reason) and it was very simple to use.
and yet you could make very nice looking documents, and have them as
complex as you want.  there was a view where you could see a page like
icon and click on various bits to add page numbers and all.  somewhere i
still have it on floppy and if i ever win the lottery the first thing
i'd do is hire some gui/app programming god to build it for me on x.
(ok, not the first, but it would be up there on the todo list)
