A brief introduction to using Mathematica as word processor can be found in "The beginner's guide to Mathematica version 4 by Glynn and Gray. It should get you started. In my experience, to use Mathematica as a word processor you need to be comfortable manipulating and designing your own style sheets. Chapters 49-55 in G&G give some good pointers of how to do this. Mathematica is my default word processor. All my lecture notes are distributed as notebooks. Goodluck!
