I must admit that I became curious if my preferred editor (= Scite)
would work with Unicode? It does. As the editor has also a file
(Options -> Open Abbreviations file) to register abbreviations I can
only recommend to forget WORD for the work described below.

PS: Samples for Scite abbreviations:
int=\\int_{|}^{}
bd=\\begin{displaymath|}
displaymath=equation
equation=eqnarray
eqnarray=eqnarray*
eqnarray=displaymath
The last part (input: bd) gives you the possibility to start with
\begin{displaymath}, then just by typing "return"you can change to
any of the other possibilites shown in the sample or coming back to
the first. The \vert-symbol let's you put the cursor at its place.
