For such a major and hopefully lucrative project, you might be well
served to pay for someone to come in a give you a 2-4 hour coaching
session about how to write with Word. They can explain all this, setup
some bespoke templates or template, show you how manage them.
Alternatively, buy a book about Word. I don't know what's available on
Mac, but I know there are a lot on Word for Windows and the principles
are the same.

Styles and Templates are at the very *heart* of using Word so that it
become a real writing tool with real benefits. No author using Word
should avoid them.
