How do I set up a desktop shortcut for just Word

[Guest]

I can't figure out how to set up a shortcut for just Word on my desktop, I
can only figure out how to set up a shortcut for the Tasks Launcher, which is
not what I want

Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to search for the WINWORD.EXE
file on your hard drive. It should be in a folder named
something like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10".
Right-click on winword.exe, and left-click on Create Shortcut.
