I would think that you should be able to get away with using a Word template with the same settings that your state requires in the way of fonts, font sizes, margins, borders, etc. for both depositions and the various court's required format settings.
Your agency or state's court reporting association might have templates that you can download (make sure you name the template appropriately and ensure it's locked, so that Word (or whatever you use) would be forced to create a new document with the same settings, without the lock). It might be interesting to see if there are any certified court reporters using Plover on the job anywhere ....
