Unless you selected not to install Excel (unlikely), the Excel exe program
is likely
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Excel.exe
In the Windows Start menu, choose Run and enter
Excel.exe
This will run Excel if the path (folder name) is in the Path environment
variable. If that path in not in Path, you'll need to include the entire
drive and folder name in the Run dialog.
You could also do a file search for "Excel.exe". That would turn up the file
name. As an alternative, you could open Word, the open the VBA Editor,
choose References from the Tools menu, scroll down to Microsoft Excel 10.0
and put a check next to that entry. Close the References dialog. Then, press
CTRL G to display the Immediate window, and enter:
?ThisDocument.VBProject.References("Excel").FullPath
and press ENTER. That will display the path to Excel.
However you determine the path to Excel.exe, create a shortcut on your
desktop and/or programs menu, and use the full path to Excel as the target
of the shortcut.
