    First, hit start then on the menu, look around for "Search." Search Microsoft word. If results come up and it works right-click and select create shortcut onto the desktop. If no results show or it doesnt work, just go download again off the internet.

    You may have deleted the shortcut. Go to the explorer window... search for the program, right click it, click copy, then on the desktop, right click... hit paste. You will get a shortcut. Want to get it in the quick launch? (bar next to the start button) Click and drag the shortcut icon down to the quicklaunch bar and release.

    You didn't installed it when you installed Windows.

    Find your Windows CD and go to Add or Remove Programs, then click on Add New Programs and then select Microsoft Word and install it.

    make sure that you didn't remove it from you computer. Go to the control panel and got to add or remove programs and then i believe you can see if it is still there, if not then you will need to re-download it.
