There's no way around Word word processing - in all likelihood, you'll be confronted with it in your professional life at the latest. As much as you are against monocultures, Word from Microsoft represents a standard - and if you can use it cleanly and efficiently, you will save yourself time. That's why you should familiarize yourself with the Microsoft Word 2007 version early enough.

From keyboard shortcuts and pressing mice
In Word, there are keyboard shortcuts (shortcuts) that are really nifty because you can keep your hand on the keyboard and not have to reach over to the mouse. The right mouse button also has real advantages. This chapter on keyboard shortcuts fits in well thematically, of course. However, you'll find that the importance of keyboard shortcuts increases over the course of your intensive use of Word, and you may want to reread it after reading the other chapters.

Footnotes and Endnotes in Microsoft Word 2007
The be-all andend-all of academic writing is the traceability of the research base. Therefore, as many things as possible are supported by other scholarly literature and citations. These are then given in the footnotes - others love endnotes (though rare these days).

Format templates - conformity, which is extremely important
The appearance of your document may change again later if you wish - suddenly a certain font size is desired and the margin spacing should be completely different. If you have worked with style sheets, this is no problem and the work is off the table in 10 minutes thanks to Microsoft Word 2007.
In the style sheets you define the appearance of the individual text components (headings, subheadings, text areas, quotations, etc.). And with a few clicks, you can change the appearance for the entire document.
Many functions of Microsoft Word 2007 are based on the clever use of style sheets, e.g. the (almost) automatic table of contents.

Tables of contents in a snap
No, you don't have to personally transfer the page numbers for the table of contents by hand. You simply tell the computer where to place the table of contents, and it does the counting. Pages or whole chapters are added? With 2 clicks you can have the table of contents updated. Before printing or when you reopen the file, Word does it by itself anyway.

Index - Index
Often found in technical literature at the end - an alphabetical listing of the various words of interest. So you can quickly see where the word occurs in the whole text.

Images with captions in Microsoft Word 2007
Images are often used in scientific papers - so it makes sense to number the images and captions automatically. Image directories can then be created from them later. The same applies to tables or diagrams

Image directory/table directory
You have many images - then an image directory can be advantageous. Like a table of contents, it is often placed at the beginning of the document, directly after the table of contents.
