Well, someone could do what I tried (and failed) to do: make Word
produce high quality eqn/tbl/pic/troff source as their internal

There was such a thing for TeX, can't remember the name, but my
Dad (very computer not savvy) used it to write a book. It was
WYSIWYG but spit out TeX.
Probably LyX <https://www.lyx.org/>. I use it frequently.
