Word's defaults are crappy and you need to go to the second tab on the font dialog to fix them, but it is capable of doing proper small caps and lower case/old style numerals.¹
I don't do hyphenation or full justification in Word so I can't speak to that, but despite being a long-time LaTeX user, for most of my writing, I prefer working in Word (not least of why is that it's the expected format for most non-technical writing which is the majority of my writing).
¹ I assume that you meant numerals and not letters.
