It may be that your friend purchased WORD via the recent educational discount
program costing $49.95. With that offer, they provided the Reference Manual but
no tutorial. If that was the case, I think he has no gripe-it was a good deal
even without the tutorial manual. If he really paid $200, the gripe is
justified.
