My experience has been that Word master docs stumble most on numbered subheadings, which is something you usually see mostly in procedural documents. If your cross-references aren't trying to link to things like "section x.xx, steps y-z" in different sub docs, you'll probably be ok with Word.

There are four authors who have been using Word MasterDocs for the book,
and they just sent me the files yesterday. I have not used Word MasterDocs
since, oh, 1998 or so. Back then, even though I was an "expert," I still
found it very clunky and unpredictable, particularly in the areas of
cross-references and indexing.
