Good Point
I'll try to find one (Word for Dummies, maybe?).   Our problem will be we have to do complete formatting of book manuscripts, including headers/footers, footnotes, heading styles about 4 deep, offset pages for printing, page numbering, indexing, TOC links, and on and on and on.  We currently use lots of Styles and Macros, so it will be interesting to see how they translate. Plus the formatting will have to fit our book styles (and we have 10 or more), not Word's.  It will be a challenge, but, as you say, it's necessary.  Glad to find another 5.1 person!

Hi -- just stumbled across this blog. I loved WP 5.1 too!!! Now you've made me feel all nostalgic. Those were the days.

Word sucks. But what can you do? That's what the world has chosen.

P.S. Personally, I find it easiest to learn new programs by using a book -- going to the bookstore, taking my time browsing around, looking for a book that's both thorough and clear, that will give an overview of the system that I can read right away, and give lots of "tips and tricks" that I can incorporate gradually, and that will also work later as a reference when I have specific questions. That actually works better for me than going to a training, though I may be in the minority in feeling that way.
