Here is some brain flatulence:
While you doing what you are doing, use Styles to cut down on work
Not knowing precisely your situation, here is a thought or two what I would do
I would make Headers into Header 1, Header 2, and so on
Along with these I would also either keep or modify Normal, e.g., font, spacing, etc
I would go through my document doing this -- My most used style Normal I would know for sure had the correct fonts, etc
Now, with my Document Map, I could jump to what I wanted to edit, for example, change this to Header 1, 2, 3...
With the Document Map you have a nice outline of your book, for example, if you see something as a Header 3, but in keeping with your guidelines, you can jump to it and simply Style it into Header 2
Farther, I would do some zoom outs to see over-all how my long document was looking
Keep in mind that second best may be more efficient and time saving than the ideal -- That is, don't get bogged down in the minute
Stand back often and evaluate how can I do something more efficiently -- Push Word to help you with its zillions of ways to do something
I know Word and Excel well enough to spot something I know they can do efficiently, so I learn how
