Default No Word Icon in Programs Menu, yet I still have access to old docs

Very odd. For no reason I know of the Word program is missing from the "All
programs: menu and my shortcut disappeared as well. When I type in "Word" in
the "start search" box I get a list of my old Word docs and NOT the program
icon. When I click on the Word doc it does open and seems to run normally,
but right now there is no way to access the program itself from the start
menu, or anywhere else. Please - any help is appreciated.

Look for winword.exe in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12 where 12 is the Word version (here Word 2007) and create a
new shortcut to it. If it is missing, you will have to repair Office by
re-running setup from the Windows add or return programs applet or from the
original installation disc.
