help to them as we're just now making the transition from WordPerfect to
Word.

Hi Ed

The two best on-line resources a
(1) These newsgroups
and
(2) word.mvps.org.

My general advice on writing a big document in Word is first to use

styles
and avoid direct formatting like the plague. And, figure out the

tough
stuff
before you begin: heading numbering, appendix numbering, table of

contents,
headers and footers, page numbers and so on. Don't leave them to the

end!

Shauna left out her own site, which if you are using numbered chapter
titles, is THE place to start.
