2. Maybe consider creating a test document or two to define column and table sizes, shapes, etc.

I have used Word in the past for some pretty complicated government reports and grant proposals (scientific work on water quality). You can get it to do pretty much anything with a bit of patience and trial and error. It might be best to do a separate small test document or two so you can refine the process to the point where it looks right. The size and shape of pictures or tables might be an issue if you have a design that incorporates both portrait and landscape items. However, a little experimentation usually makes it clear if the graphics can be resized or moved without too much trouble or loss of quality.

There are lots of good YouTube "how to" videos on specific subjects within Microsoft Word. Otherwise, maybe you can hire a freelancer who can do the whole job for you. There are sites like this one (https://www.upwork.com/hire/microsoft-word-experts/) where you can find a person to do the project. Another option would be to find a retired office manager or secretary locally who wants to pick a little extra work on the side.
