There are a whole whopping fistful of Microsoft news groups of the form

microsoft.public.word.*

with the * covering just about everything that you can do with Word (and
a few you really can't).

Examples:

microsoft.public.word.docmanagement
microsoft.public.word.formatting.longdocs
microsoft.public.word.numbering
microsoft.public.word.vba
microsoft.public.word.macword98

If your news server doesn't carry these groups then you can get them from
microsoft directly by specifying msnews.microsoft.com as your news server.

No account name or password are required to access msnews.microsoft.com.

My news server doesn't carry any newsgroups on the other topics you
mention.
