I can't find the tools or training necessary to begin creating a white paper.
How is this done and where can I find out the tips and how-tos? I'm using
Microsoft Word 2000.

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a white paper? Surely you aren't
talking about white colored paper, which can be purchased at any office
supply store.

Assuming that "golfbuf" is not a government minister, he may
be using "white paper" simply in the sense of "report".

White papers are what businesses use to have articles published. It includes
a lot of text, graphics, footers, etc.

I've never heard the term used in that meaning but it makes
sense.

Many questions come to mind: What businesses? In what
sectors? In what countries? Who are these articles being
published for? Are the articles intended for the general
public? For government agencies? For shareholders? For the
company's own employees? For prospective investors? Who's
doing the publishing? The business itself? A publishing
house? An advertising agency? A regulatory body?

In the absence of published guidelines or standards, the
best thing to do would be to look at one or more examples of
white papers and try and come as close to that as possible.
