Word was less WYSIWYG before the ribbon. The default "Normal" layout elided a bunch of rendering like headers and footers and could lazily repaginate unlike Print Layout mode which is now the default. "Normal" is now "Draft" mode with a few enhancements. Just use MS Word in Draft and don't use manual formatting.
