Look for Microsoft Office Word 2007 under **Start > Programs > Microsoft Office.**Once found right click on it and click Send to > Desktop (Create shortcut).

 If it’s not there then try the following steps.

1)     Browse to the location C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 and look for the file Winword.exe.

(Note: for 64 bit operating systems browse to the following location:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12)

2)     Once you find the file, right click on it and click Send to > Desktop (Create shortcut).

This should create a shortcut on your desktop.
