It's not that easy to "delete" an entire program. It's *is* possible that
your shortcut was deleted. Did you look to see if it still shows up in the
Control Panel? If not, it will either be on a disk that says Works Suite or
Office, depending on which one you bought.

The recovery disk would correct/replace Windows files. A completely
different critter.

As JoAnn says, it's highly unlikely that you've "deleted" or uninstalled the
program. Try this: find a Word document (there may be one on the Recent
Documents menu on the Start menu). If it starts Word when you click or
double-click on it, then Word is still installed.

In My Computer, choose Tools | Folder Options and, on the View tab, choose
"Show hidden files and folders." Then search for "winword.exe." When you
find it, right-click and choose Create Shortcut. Windows will tell you it
can't create a shortcut in the Search Results window and ask if you want it
on the desktop. Say OK. Now double-click that to start Word.

Microsoft Office is not listed in Add/Remove Programs? A pretty good sign,
then, but why on earth would someone have uninstalled it?

You *may* be able to use System Restore to restore Windows to a time you
*know* it was working, but your best policy is to reinstall from the
original disc. If this is an OEM pre-installed copy, then how easy that will
be to do without wrecking everything else would rather depend on how the
pre-install was provided. For that you'll need to chat with the supplier of
the PC.

1. Reinstall Word from the Works or Office disks.
2. Tell your dad or someone to refrain from uninstalling programs without
notifying you.
