I bought a copy of "Microsoft Word 3.0 (for the Macintosh) Made Easy".

It's a decent introduction to MS Word 3.0.  I've ended up with a new
editor every eighteen or so months for the last bunch of years, and I've
developed my own methods for clubbing the beasts into submission.  The
book taught me a lot of stuff that I didn't discover in getting Word to
work for me.  It also taught me a bunch of stuff that I didn't remember
finding when I read the MS tome that comes with Word. It's reasonably well
written, even if it does (more than occasionally) refer to figures that
occur on later pages.

One caveat: the title lies. Some stuff is covered in excrutiating detail
at a pace that's slow for anyone except a yuppie who's trying to
figure out the difference between his Mac and his Cuisinart (but that's ok
if you never met up with it before, either), and some stuff is
covered in CS8086x style ("...intuitively obvious...").

I'd still like a real reference manual for MS Word.  (But then I want
some real reference manuals for UNIX :-)).
