How do I get word to re-appear in start/programs/microsoft office? Used to be there but its gone.?

Question

Word/Excel etc. use to be part of the microsoft office menu. Word still launches when I open an existing doc., but does not show up in the items under microsoft office....

Answer 1

Make a shortcut on the desktop (right-click a blank spot and choose NEW> Shortcut)

Then drag the shortcut using the right button to the START button, then to All Programs, then to MS Office. When you drop on MS Office, select the Move Here option and the shortcut will move to the menu.

Answer 2

You can navigate to your start menu folder by doing this:

Go to My Computer
Go to c:
Go to Documents and Settings
Go to All Users
Go to Start Menu
Go to Programs
Go to Microsoft Office
Right click in the folder and select "New" then "Shortcut"
Browse to "My Computer" "C:" "Program Files" "Microsoft Office" "Office11" "WinWord"

I have Office 2003 and this is the path for me. I would print this out or write it down so you don't get lost and get it done quickly. The first response will work too by creating the short cut on the desktop and dragging it but you need to knwo where the shortcut is. i hope both answers together helped you.
