My worst experience in Word has been adapting a state based Word document to municipal use. The state knows what it is doing and uses styles as a great way to organize the document to provide direction.

Then the fucking county had a 60 year old secretary create a wrapper for that document and it fucking breaks everything.

Screenshot the document, then paste it into a new document.
