My only reason for writing in Word is that everyone else seems to own it and it’s the only writing software most people know. You have brought back hope to me.

Re your project, I would take Franz’s argument further and note that Word’s Track Changes feature would be too unwieldy for such extensive rewriting.

I think that the best would be to view your undertaking as an ‘academic’ writing project, where the existing manuscript is the background that you are to use for writing your own text. Within this context, I believe that some methodologies have been discussed here in the past where the work can indeed be broken down into half-hour sprints.
