Lost desktop icon

[Larry]

I Lost my icon for microsoft Word and can`t get it back.
It was on my desktop and now I have no access to Word. Can
anyone tell me how to recover it?

Hi,

Start/run winword.exe, that should bring it up.

Otherwise, locate the file (winword.exe) in the program files folder and
right-click it, use "send to-->desktop as shortcut".

3. Command line: "C:\PRogram files\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Word"
(or C:\C:\PRogram files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"
4. Name of Shortcut: Microsoft Word
