My own personal favorite is the Woody Leonhart contigent's "Word97
Annoyances". They also do a complete "Office97 Annoyances" and I have just
seen on Amazon "Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000."
My first experience with their materials was "The Hacker's Guide to Word
for Windows 2.0" and I have found their stuff to be incredibly useful ever
since.
In addition, it is the only technical writing I've ever read that makes me
giggle.
