I'm not into music production, but software is available for Linux, but I am not familiar with the maturity of each option. If you're comfortable with a Mac, I'm confident that you're fine. However, if you're curious, and adventuresome, check out some music-production-specific Ubuntu-based Linux distributions -- for example, Ubuntu Studio. See
Home | Ubuntu Studio. Try it on decent hardware.
Why do you need to use doc when you send out your projects? Does someone else need to edit them? If not, generate PDF, and send that. I don't know of any other solution other than running MS Win and Word in a virtual machine.
