I had both books for Word 2000 and highly recommend Camarda. I didn't
find much of use in the other one. But note that both go over all the
basics; I found that especially frustrating in the Bible (don't remember
the author, though, so it might have changed/be better). Camarda had
lots of useful hints and tips.
Don't know whether either would help you with the MS exam, never taken
it.

Subject: Need Word 2003 Book Information - Intermediate/Advanced
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the following books.
They
both are highly rated on Amazon, but only due to one or two reviews.
I'm
looking for something for the intermediate to advanced Word user, that
doesn't go through a lot of beginner basic word-processing information.
the
books I am considering are:
"Word 2003 Bible" by Brent Heslop (Seems like it covers all levels, from
beginner to advanced. You can look at the book's table of contents.)
and
"Special Edition: Using Word 2003" by Bill Camarda (In one review, the
reviewer states how the author was effective at "holding his hand"
through
powerful features of Word. This sounds promising, but there is no way
to
look at the book's table of contents.)
I'm going to check out both at the bookstore this weekend, but I was
wondering if anyone here had any experience with either of these and
could
make any recommendations.
I am also hoping that one of these books would provide the knowledge
needed
to pass Microsoft's Word 2003 exam.
