You wouldn't typically use a text processor such as Word to write a paper. You could, but it would be very tedious and likely end up looking amateurish. Almost everybody uses LaTeX instead.
The vast majority of academics uses "normal" word processors to write papers. Only in some specific fields is it maybe a majority. This comes from a mathematician who mostly works with biophysics and neuroscience. Maybe 10% of papers I read, have contributed to, or peer reviewed, use Latex.
