Say what? Is the creation of text boxes that float text to each another supported in word? Is correct Setup of pages supported?

Maybe I am outdated a little bit on Word news, but Publisher's purpose was for a certain use case, and it did it well. I understand that nowadays people rarely create magazines, but it's still the thing. And I'd like to be supported in it.

The alternative for DTP is Scribus, but the UI is really giving me headaches, and there is no proper support of copying formatted text...

I am quite impresses it still is.
