I didn't make a specific book recommendation because the last time I
actually compared the aftermarket books was for Word 2000. But I'd be
surprised if Woody Leonhard's books weren't still at or near the top of
the heap. If I were using Word for something more than the occasional
letter or release note, that's the book I'd want on my shelf.
