Word is not a page layout application. It uses styles to provide formatting. You should be able to create a style with the line spacing, inter-paragraph spacing and left or right indents to provide the alignments you require to fit your paper layout.
I don't recommend the use of text boxes, which are essentially graphical elements, but you can use them without background colour - even white. However you will still have the same vertical alignment issues ... unless you planned to use a separate text box for each line, and that would likely result in an unstable document. Use the styles!
