Sharing MS Office applications

OK, I never could figure out how I lost my MS Office from
my ALL PROGRAMS display so I removed all the MS Office
applications and then re-installed them. MS Office now
appears in my ALL PROGRAMS display just as before.

Now, how do I get MS Office to display in my wife's ALL
PROGRAMS display. She and I are both administrators on
this machine. Do I have to do the install again when
she's logged on? There's got to be an easier way.

TIA
Jack

Copy the shortcuts from your user Start Menu under
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername

to the All Users Start Menu under
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users

Right click the Start button and Explore All Users. Create shortcuts for the
Office executables (like winword.exe) in the location of your preference.
