Lost Office Tools Office 2003

[CGB]

Office 2003 Standard edition on Windows XP Home edition

Some how or other I lost all the shortcuts on my desktop. One of these was
a link to a list of "MS Office Tools." Now I can't remember what all was in
the Office Tools menu. (Only one I can think of is Office Picture Manager)
I've look through various office modules like Word and Excel and can't find
a list of the "tools" that come packaged with it. Can anyone please tell me
what I should have and where they might be so I can rebuild links to them.

Thanks.

What do you have in All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools?

If you do not find them there, open any Office application an do Help,
Detect and Repair. That should restore to All Programs but not to your
desktop.

In you do find them there, right click on Microsoft Office Tools and send a
shortcut to your desktop.

You can always find out what the Tools are by running Office setup and
looking under Office Tools.

Start the Office CD within Windows and use the repair option..

Don and Mike,

What do you have in All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools?

Nothing, Under all programs>microsoft office, just the names of the
programs, e.g. excel, word, etc. Nothing in that section for for Microsoft
Office Tools.

You can always find out what the Tools are by running Office setup and

looking under Office Tools.
Where is Office setup? On the original CD's?

Start the Office CD within Windows and use the repair option..

I have the CDs. And will try. I just don't want it to screw up
anything else! I am running Office Standard 2003 but also am running Access
97 which I installed from my old Office 97 Professional. I'm afraid too
much tinkering might just disrupt this mixed version. Does anyone know
off-hand what the "tools" are besides Office Picture Manager that I might be
missing? I really don't remember using anything other than that and I have
resurrected that from my hard drive.

Thanks.
