I have WORD97. I also have Using Microsoft Word 97 by QUE. I really don't
care for this book as it only seems to give a very superficial overview
without much detail.

Of course, WORD has so much I'm sure it is difficult to have an extensive
text.

So, can someone recommend a good hard copy book?

What are your goals? Advanced formatting, producing forms, creating
macros...?

Mike:

My goals are to learn a lot about WORD.
I'm still a relatively new user of WORD (having used WORKS for years).

Things just come up and I try to learn about them, but the book I have just
doesn't go into enough detail.

(Some recent topics were: text boxes, bookmarks, macros, etc.)

The best course would be to browse through some of the hundreds of available
books. Since you're using a comparatively old version of Word I can't point
you to anything much that's likely to be in print, although 2nd hand
bookstores are usually over-run with these titles.

The other strategy, which I have found very pratical, is to give yourself an
actual project. That will drive your learning much faster than randomly
collecting facts and methods. If I'm learning an advanced configurable
product or programming language I figure that many of the tools I require
are already available and I go looking for them.

If you want to get into programming Word. There are many resources avaialble
at www.msdn.com
