I am moving some documents from M$ Word to my home computer that uses Debian

I wish to have a document-wide left and right margin of one (1) inch.
Selecting All (ctrl-A) and then adjusting the margins does not move the
margins to a document-wide setting. I suspect this is because in Word, the
document had many "Section Break, Next Page"-marks thus causing many
different margin settings to exist. This should be easy to correct, now that
I know the probable cause.
Without starting a flame-war, I would like to know a good editor for long
text-based documents. I have a set of documents that I am, as mentioned,
transferring from M$ Word to an open standard (corporate bylaws, corporate
minutes, etc.) that only need basic formatting (bold, underline, heading,
etc.) for text files.
