Microsoft Word Training Filter: Can anyone recommend any good, comprehensive online training courses for Microsoft Word 2007. Bonus points for: free or cheap.

I'd like to train someone to be a Word power user, and I'm looking for online training materials. I've been looking through the Microsoft Learning Portal, but the site's a pain in the rear to use as I can't coax it to come up with a comprehensive list of lessons so I can pick and choose. Of course a google search reveal all sorts of companies willing to train, but it's difficult to discern quality.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Honestly, for free or cheap you really can't do better than the online training / demos / help directly from Microsoft. They're free and there is a comprehensive list of lessons here. They are great both for beginners needing to learn the basics, and higher level users who have a few holes in their knowledge.

We've done those, and they're okay, but not as comprehensive as we'd like.

$25 gets you access to this for a month.

$39.00 for 1-year Web-based Office training access at Dell. Disclosure - I work for Dell, but not in training sales. :) I do, however, work in business sales and I haven't gotten any negative feedback from the packages I've sold. Followup disclosure - if you select to purchase through this link it will have nothing whatsoever to do with me; I found it by using Dell's website search engine. The Dell part number is 986-9538.
