There are absolutely brilliant toots online for Word, ranging from its earliest incarnations to the wildly popular 2003, to the newer. I send a lot of "noobs," by which I mean, new to the idea of using Word correctly, to this for the very, very basics: http://shaunakelly.com/topic/word/concepts and then, for those that really want to power-use it, hither: http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/ .

That guy, the latter? His stuff is freaking AWESOME. His writings on using Styles are definitive, IMHO.

Offered not really for anyone in this thread, but for those that may stumble across this later...
