Word shortcut lost but program still installed

[csa120]

Hi there, a while ago i came to work and somehow i had deleted the shortcut
to MS Word. I can still get to the program by opening My Computer and
finding a saved MS Word document but i cant just open the program alone. Is
there a way to create a new shortcut for the program??

Yes, there is. Copied from the Windows Help file (do an F1 when your cursor
is on a clear area of your desktop, search for shortcut):

To put a shortcut on the desktop
Open My Computer.
Double-click a drive or folder.
Click the item you want, such as a file, program, folder, printer, or
computer.
On the File menu, click Create Shortcut.
Resize the window so you can see the desktop.
Drag the new shortcut to the desktop.

Notes
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
You can also drag an item to the desktop with the right mouse button, and
then click Create Shortcut(s) Here.
To change the shortcut's properties, right-click the shortcut, and then
click Properties.
When you delete a shortcut to an item, the original item is not deleted. It
still exists on your computer in its original location.
