Use Windows Search and search for Winword.exe. Once found, right-drag the
file on to your Desktop and when prompted, click Create Shortcut Here. To
move it to your Start Menu, left drag the newly created shortcut over the
Start button (don't release the mouse), wait for the menu to open and
navigate to your Microsoft Office folder. Once there, release the mouse
button.
