Please Help - What happened to my "email icon" in Office

[cmptr_iliterate]

Hi- I just recently purchased a new laptop and got Office 2003 Professional
installed. From what I recall the first few times I opened Excel and Word
was that there was either a single "email" icon on the toolbar or there was a
toolbar specifically for the email function. In fact, I think I even went as
far as clicking on the "email" icon and a "to:, from:, cc:, etc appeared
above my excel spreadsheet".
Anyways, I loaded a small Yahoo Mail file to make Yahoo Mail my default
email program. So when I opened Excel and Word I don't see that "email"
icon/toolbar anymore. Maybe I just don't see it or maybe I accidentally hid
it or maybe the Yahoo file I downloaded zapped it away. I'm not computer
savvy so if you have any suggestions please give me step by step
instructions. Thank you so much in advance. Rochelle.
