I recommend Advanced Microsoft Office 2007 Edition Inside Out by Stephanie
Krieger: this is real gem. It is particularly good for someone trying to
support a small business as it it includes an excellent section on how to
set up Word to run in the Office environment to the best effect. I haven't
seen Ed Bott's 2007 book, but MY opinion of his 2003 book would probably get
me into trouble if I repeated it here!

Also, have you downloaded the Get Started Add-on Ribbon tab from Microsoft
Office On Line? This adds access to the indispensible Interactive Command
Guide and many Training Videos. These are good efforts and are free.

"Upgrading" to Office 2007 has been one of my worst experiences that
didn't involve any threat to life or limb. Is there a Reader's Digest
category for that?

So, I guess I better do some studying.

Can anyone recommend a good book for users of previous versions of
Office to try and make sense of all the garbage on my screen and and
clues to where the geniuses at M$FT have hidden all of the useful
icons and options that I have been using for years?

I prefer something not from M$FT as I don't like to further reward bad
corporate behavior.

I probably need a general Office book and then a specialized Word and
Outlook book.

This "upgrade" has already cost me 3-4 days of lost productivity and I
am far from done.
