Free Training?

Is there any site that offers online or a downloadable full, thorough Word
2003 training. I'm looking for something like a general Word 2003 text book,
but free and online/downloadable. Even better, if it's a source you know is
thorough enough that I could take a simple Word 2003 certification test and
pass after going through your recommended resource, I'd really like that
better. I'd sure appreciate any feedback anyone can offer.

I did... and I'm a bit overwhelmed by seemingly splochy (sp?) options. I've
found nothing completely thorough. Have you any specific suggestions?

No, because I bought the books on Word that I use for reference. I like a
book in my hand instead of reading something online.

So right. I used to curl up on the sofa with the Word 97 manuals and a glass
of wine. Can't do that on line without spilling the wine into the
keyboard...

I prefer to snuggle under a blanket with a cup of French Vanilla Nut coffee

I haven't been able to find any thorough, organized free training, no. Do
you know a particular area I should check? I may end up having to buy a text
for my purposes, however, I work and go to college online and, idealy, I'd
like my side-study texts to be here as well... and, of course, preferably
free... :-).

That couldn't be a more exact match to the type of resource I was looking
for. Organized, Exact, and to the Point. Thank you so very much Robert.
