I had to un-install Micro 365 Office. I have now re-installed. How do I add Office apps to quick access bar or desktop?

    Hello,

    Click on the Windows icon to launch Start menu, then click on All apps, find the apps, like Word, Excel, Then just drag the icon to your desktop, or to taskbar. You can also just right click on the app listed on the start, and find the Pin to taskbar option.

    To add Microsoft 365 Office apps to your desktop or taskbar after re-installation, follow these steps:

    1. Create Desktop Shortcuts:
      • Open the Start menu and search for the Office app you want to add (e.g., Word, Excel).
      • Right-click on the app and select Pin to taskbar or Pin to Start. If you want a desktop shortcut, you can also drag the app from the Start menu to your desktop.
    2. Using the Taskbar:
      • If you want to add the app to the taskbar, right-click on the app icon in the Start menu and select Pin to taskbar. This will keep the app accessible from your taskbar for quick access.
    3. Accessing from Desktop:
      • For a desktop shortcut, after dragging the app to your desktop, you can double-click the icon to open it directly from there.

    These steps will help you quickly access your Microsoft 365 Office apps from either the desktop or the taskbar.
