I have a laptop with Vista and allthe other programs in office are available
to the other users accounts (my daughters) except for Word. I have tried
allowing (checking) all boxes but Word still does not show up as a program
they can use.
Any ideas?

On my old PC with XP the users accounts have acces to word and it has not
been a problem.

I have the same problem and was hoping to find an answer here. I know what
you can do temporarily, it works for me. On her user account, open all
programs, in MS Office, at the top of the drop down is "Activation
Assistant", click that and click on the option "Activate or Buy MS Office"
and it will open up Word. I don't know why, it's like the computer knows you
have a purchased copy but won't allow it on all user accounts. Hope this
helps

Found the answer. You might have 'taken' it off your program list, clicked
and draged, and put it on YOUR desktop. It will not be available to other
users. Go in to your account, find Word, put it in(click and drag) Public
Documents, switch users, go to her account, open public documents, now she
can create a shortcut from there on HER desktop.

She will now have it available on her user account. She can even PIN it to
her start menu from Public Documents.

If you click and drag programs to your desktop, it looks like a shortcut, I
don't think it is. It seems like it removes it from the programs list. I
think you have to right click and select 'create shortcut' to do it correctly.

Anyway, that's how I fixed it for me. Works good and looks fine.
