Previous Word Experience

My freshman year in high school I took a required computer class called BIMM (I don't remember what it stands for). In that class I learned all about Word. Most of what I learned about Word I still remember. One thing I have found useful in Word is the "Format Painter", which will make all of your text look the same. The one thing I want to learn in this class is how to work Word through Vista. I want to learn where all of the buttons are relative to the old Word. Also, learning any other things I have not learned or have forgotten would be nice.
