I deleted my shortcut from my desktop, but I still have
Microsoft Word because I saved documents. The only way I
can get into Word is by opening up one of those
documents. I want to know how to create another shortcut
when Microsoft Word is not available in my programs bar
without buying a Microsoft Word Program from a store or
online.
Thanks, Todd
 
It doesn't appear when you click "Start", "Programs"? If not, let us know
which version of Word you have and we'll let you know where the program
resides on your computer. You could try this (if you feel comfortable):

1. Hold down the "Windows" key at the lower left of your keyboard and press
the "E" once.
2. Click the "Search" button (might be under "Tools", "Find", "Files and
folders".
3. Search for the following file - "winword.exe".
4. When it appears in the right window, click the "Restore" icon at the top
right of this window (assuming it is already full screen).
5. Left click on the file "Winword.exe", hold your mouse and drag the file
to your Desktop.

This will create a shortcut on your Desktop.

Holler if this doesn't make sense.
