Publisher 2003-How does one learn how to use it?

I'm disgusted with Microsoft. I purchased Microsoft 2003
with digital imaging expecting to find manuals on how to
use the product. There was a manual for the digital
imaging, but none for Publisher. How does one learn how
to use Publisher, through osmosis?

Not including an operating manual is like going into a
restaurant and ordering your meal only to find out the
restaurant doesn't supply silverware.

Does anyone know ehere I can get a manual or training?

I appreciate your responses.

Ron strange you think Microsoft would care about what you think.
Ron Publisher up to version Publisher 97 always had an excellent manual,
however, then Microsoft removed half the features from Publisher 97 and
called it Publisher 98 and removed the manual and increased the price for
what could only be described as a disgusting rip-off Publisher 98 was such a
disgusting program - as was Publisher 2000.
I think you can download a manual from the Serif website for PagePlus and it
will give you many of the fundamentals needed for you to use Publisher.
Presently the Serif website is down while they are moving servers, but
should be back up in a few hours. http://www.serif.com/pageplus/pageplus9/

Ron, everything these days is ONLINE for Microsoft it seems. The Publisher
help system is a wealth of knowledge, as is the Office Online Assistance for
Publisher. They have hundreds of tutorials, demos and the like to help you.

Here are some really details training courses from the Microsoft Publisher
team that are online:

And here are some assistance articles provided by the Publisher Team for
Publisher (THESE are awesome):
