    Hi Mick,

    There is no manual. If there were it would fill a complete 5-shelf bookcase. There is online help, but there is a Catch-22 in that you have to know the jargon to search.

    One of my favorite books, most of which applies as well to Word 2016 is the Word 2010 Bible by Herb Tyson. https://www.amazon.com/Word-2010-Bible-Herb-Tys...

    I strongly recommend starting with this series of web pages by Shauna Kelly.

    http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/BasicConce...

    Doing so will save you a tremendous amount of time.

    Here are my "chapters" about Word:

    Basic Formatting

    Styles

    Tables

    AutoText, AutoCorrect and Building Blocks

    and the Word MVP Site

    I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.

    The link Manuel provided is to a page that links to a series of basic articles about Word. They are online articles, accompanied by videos, and I don't believe they can be downloaded.
