I want to pulish a book. Is there a template that will help me put it into
the correct format?

You'll have far better luck asking in a newsgroup related to Word.
This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.
However, I doubt very much that you'll find such a template: each publishing
company probably has its own template that they'll want you to use. (I know
that's the case with the periodicals for which I write, and the books for
which I've been Technical Editor.)

It's Microsoft's Help system. If you ask for more information in the online
help, you get a list of newsgroups, sorted alphabetically. If you just click
the first one, the question ends up here. Clearly, users not acquainted with
the Access program must be excused for thinking that this is a place to "get
access to information"; if the Microsoft web designers could put people
coming to the help screens from Word into the Word newsgroups and so on, it
would be much less of a problem.

They're apparently coming from the Office 2003 online Help; one option
(clearly a buggy one) on the Help screen is "Get answers from other
users". Clicking it takes you to a webpage with a small box and the
instruction to ask your question in a few words; if you do so it
searches the newsgroups, finds nothing (usually), and then brings up a
second page with a dropdown for choice of subject - *defaulting to
Access, regardless of what program the user is coming from* - and a
textbox for posting a more detailed question; but there are no
instructions, and not even any clear indication that you're posting to
a newsgroup.
It's simply bad web page design on Microsoft's part.
