Nope. I can do this with Word, python -m SimpleHTTPServer, and a web browser to write code, test code and see code in live action.

Wait, what is Word being used for, in this process?

Writing an essay to the security folks justifying using Python in a corporate environment?
Writing code. at least in open office you can create a new HTML document, don't have Word with me right now but in the old days I believe it was possible.
Well, you sure can save a Word document as HTML, but it spits out some of the grossest, most xml-metadata-crammed, non-human-readable HTML and CSS you have ever seen. God help you if you actually want to use Word as a WYSIWYG HTML editor. And have fun trying to add JS to it...
