I don't have what you want, but when I was getting up to speed on OO I used a 
Star Office 6 hand book. I would think that if there is going to be any 
commercial grade training material out there it would be for Star Office...

Given that the people are used to MS word, I would think that all they need is 
reference material that tells them how to do some of the more 'convoluted' 
things they did on Word on OO. In all honesty I don't think that experienced 
word users will be stumped for more than 30 seconds or so. The only thing I 
miss is recording macros and that is coming with 1.1
