This basic guide to WordPerfect is certainly good enough to get started.  It
also contains some useful material pulled (wholesale) from McFedries' guide to
Windows.
 
However, I question whether this would be the most suitable book on the topic. 
An example is the treatment of "Reveal Codes"--the reader is exhorted to leave
it alone.  True, the codes thus revealed can be intimidating, but they can
explain a *lot* of formatting problems.  A chapter, or even a few pages, of
explanation would be much more helpful than, "Don't bother."
