There is a document that I refer to six or seven time daily, Is there a way
to make a desk top Icon for this worksheet to make it easier to access?
Thanks for the help.

Absolutely. In Windows explorer, right-click on the file and do Send-To
Desktop (as shortcut).
 
right click on the document,
drag to a blank area of the desktop,

You can now choose to make a shortcut to the document placed on the desktop
or to actually move the document from where it is to the desktop. (my
personnel choice would be to make a shortcut).

Why? The Right-Click menu has a "Send to desktop as a shortcut" option....

Shortcuts are your friend, there are many ways to create them these are
just a few.

Right click your desktop and select NEW then SHORTCUT then follow the
instructions from there.

Or if your familiar with Windows Explorer just open the file location,
right click the file and drag to your Desktop when you release the
mouse button you will have an option to create a shortcut.

Also if your Windows Explorer window is maximized you can drag the file
to your taskbar and hover it there for a second or two then Windows
Explorer will minimize and you can then have access to the desktop.
Just don't let go of the file until your at your desktop.

You can also do this directly from within Microsoft Word's OPEN FILE
(or what ever program you use to open your document)

There are many ways to create shortcuts.....one way may be more suited
to an individual then another.

Best we can do is let them know the various ways and just let them
choose what works best for them.
