Access Technology Institute is absolutely awesome in regards to her 
tutorials.

I have her MS Word, and she talks about the different attributes like color, 
font and the like.  She has tutorials for both Jaws and Window Eyes, and 
relatively cheep.

There are several keyboard oriented tutorials for MS Word. MS Word is, 
however, not a desktop publishing program. I can't say what the differences 
are, but my sighted husband, who uses MS PUblisher and MS
Word, emphatically states that Word is NOT! a desktop publish app, whereas 
MS Publisher is. Anyway, the problem with print books that purport to tell 
people how to use computer programs is that they are loaded
with screen shots, which do not ocr well at all, and they are also not 
keyboard oriented. I'd suggest you'd have better luck finding one of the 
keyboard oriented tutorials that are produced with screen reader users in
mind. John Wilson and Brian Hartgen produce two, and I'm sure there are 
others. Your screen reader vendor may have some ideas also.
