If you constantly battle with large and complex documents, you might want to give this word processor a go. It was created with research papers, theses, technical documents and books in mind, and you can select styles for headings, which makes document formatting easier. It also does automatic figures and tables for the number of headings. Perhaps the nicest feature is that it highlights all changes made by autocorrect.
