There are two books for Microsoft word that I know about. The first is
"Microsoft Word Made Easy" and is published by Microsoft Press. It's a 
decent introduction/tutorial, but doesn't go into any advanced topics or
beyond beginners. It's okay, but anyone with any background in word will
outstrip it rapidly. Still an improvement over those things Microsoft ships
with the software, though (I refuse to call them manuals)

The other is a new one, and is called "The definitive guide to word 3.0" 
and is published by the cobb group. About 700 pages, starts at the
beginner/tutorial level and tries to cover as much stuff as it can. Pretty
accurate, pretty complete (although not definititive -- no postscript
coverage, minimal math formula coverage, and a few other areas that need
expansion) but really a good book overall. [****-] on the OtherRealms
scale, and is one of the books that gets the very scarce shelf space on the
desk my computer lives on (most books are in the bookcase nearby, unless I
use it quite often - this should tell you how often I refer to it).
