I have administrative privledges and see the full Microsoft Office 2003 suite
(Excel, Power Point, Access, Publisher, Word) when I click Programs.

However, a Limited User sees the Microsoft Office 2003 applications in
Progams EXCEPT for Microsoft Word. However, the Limited user can open an
existing Word document in 2003, and with New can create a new document.

I want to put the Word 2003 icon in the Launch bar, but I cannot see the
application anywhere in Programs, so I cannot get it to the Launch bar.

How do I give the Limited user the same Microsoft 2003 suite priviledges
that I have?

Click to expand...

You don't need to give him/her your privileges, just the Icon/path to the
application.
Try this:
1- Log with your admin account
2- Open windows Explorer
3- find this path/directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin<you>\Start Menu\Programs\MS Office
Suite\Word Icon <== Copy this by right click.

Again on the same root:
C:\Documents and Settings\Limites User\Start Menu\programs\Ms Office Suite
<== Paste the copy of word App here.
Reboot and log as the Limited User, does it exist there?
HTH,
