Sorry to bother: Any recommendation on a text editor to use that

provided a MS Word template.

I recommend any text editor and the xml2rfc tool:

Use xml2rfc. It's really the way to go these days.

The tool I'm using is a perl script that Tim Dierks created when he  
was doing the TLS spec. It's good enough that I've never moved to  
xml2rfc, but there are so many nice things about the XML one that you  
should use it. It will do all the right boilerplate and crap. That  
changes often and you'll tear your hair out doing it yourself. It  
took me ten days (!) to get bis19 changed to meet all the stupid crap  
that isn't documented anywhere.
