If you want to see a visual of something then try YouTube, e.g., Word 2007 Margin Setting...
M$ Training
Moving from Word 2003 to 2007, here is an excellent resource
For Excel
This is NOT free, but if you want to become certified in something M$, use MeasureUp, Pre-Tests and go over and over the questions, because you want speed for these tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The test questions give you visual solutions as well as, of course, the anwers
Once a week, run CCleaner (free) to clean out useless files and also with its Tools tab, your registry
And also at the site, download its Defragger and run it after you clean out the crap (Crap Cleaner is what CCleaner means) -- M$ DeFragger is lame
Then do a Restart to have a super-dooper system
To Uninstall a product, use the FREE Revo Uninstaller, because the M$ Uninstaller still leaves certain things in the Registry -- Why trial programs "remembers" you tried the program before or uninstalling/reinstalling an Office program "remembers" the settings you wanted to change with a new install

Feel free to add your own FREE resources or resources worth paying for

Here is a generic solution to a type of question I see often here: an Office product is NO longer working properly

Do a restart, yea, that simple
If this fails, then do a System Restore back to the time things were working correctly -- With Vista: Start > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore...M$ patches, etc, may NOT install correctly, so this could solve the problem -- NOTE, M$ will update so the problem may return, or not, but you now know the problem so you can "Google" a solution...NOTE, too, a System Restore does NOT change your Office files
