I haven't used it enough to have an opinion about using it, but you can build a word template that you hand to pandoc when it is converting to word, and it will stuff all your content into the matching styles in the template. The table templates in word are annoying to use, but you can put nearly all of the formatting into the style and not have to mess with individual tables.

Mostly just throwing stuff out there in case you hadn't looked at it.

Thanks! I actually have not spent much time looking into that and will see if it helps.
