Hello Chris, I'm not a student, but I work as a freelance translator and most of the documents I work with are MS Word format. I use Pages and export to Word and the only formatting problem I have is with text boxes which do not stay in the correct position between the two formats. Styles and so on transfer just fine and by setting hotspots in the right places, you can check on the style of any piece of text easily.
If you have to write papers in either APA or MLA format, let me know and I can send you the Pages templates for these as they do not appear among those provided with Pages.
