Sure; I think Charles is an excellent writer, and Word guru, and of
course is recognized by MS as part of their MVP program.  His entire
Word tutorial for intermediate level users can be found at:

http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide

He also answers questions freely on the microsoft word news groups.

Hth,

Chip
