You could take a look at this, if it's still in print.

I second Keith Cronin's rave review of Word 97 Annoyances. However,
that is out of print, so you'll have to go to a second-hand bookstore to
find it.
As I recall, the Cummings book (don't have it handy) tries to resemble
"Annoyances" but doesn't succeed -- it's a matter of tone, mostly. This is
not to disparage it; it is well organized and contains a lot of material.
You'll have to decide for yourself if it suits your needs.
