Pin To Start Menu Any of Office 2007 Programs

[Guest]

I "pinned" to the Start Menu, Excel, Word and PP. However, they will not run
(launch) when clicked. If I go to Programs and the folder for Office and
select the program, it launches. Thoughts / Suggestions?

Thanks.

Where did you pin them from? Usually when you see this behavior it means
that the shortcut that you used to pin to the Start Menu has been moved or
deleted. Try Unpinning those 3 shortcuts and go to Start/All Programs/Office
folder and pin them again from there.

Ronnie.. Thank you. I did try this... twice but to no avail. I will keep
trying to figure out and appreciate the response.

Try constructing a shortcut to an Office 2007 program by right-
clicking on the desktop and selccting New/Shortcut
and filling out the proper target path and filename. Save it and drag
it to the "pinning" area of the Start Menu and
see if that doesn't fix your problem. It has for me.
