You could do it with Word - heck, you could even do it with Notepad.

The folks who buy filmscripts can be very persnickety about format --
templates definitely exist for all the different elements of one, but
it might be best to find out exactly what the particular studio or
agent wants to see, and design your own set of styles to use.

But to answer the OP's question, yest it can be done in Word. Format is a
completely different subject.
