Do you have a shortcut to Word anywhere else, such as on the desktop or in the Quick Launch Toolbar? If not, using Windows Explorer (the file manager) go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11, right-click the file WinWord.exe, and choose Send To Desktop. Now that you have a shortcut, select it and copy it to the clipboard. Click Start Programs. Right-click the Microsoft Office item and choose Explore, which will open the file manager to the Microsoft Office folder under your profile. Paste from the clipboard into the folder. If you don't want the shortcut on the desktop, you can now delete it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Use Windows Search to look for winword.exe (note that you'll need to make
sure the search includes hidden and system files and folders). When you find it, right-click and choose Create Shortcut. Word won't let you create the shortcut in the Search Results window and will ask if you want it on the desktop. Say yes. You can always drag it to the Start menu later if you prefer. -- Suzanne S.
