When the Microsoft Office programs are installed, you have the choice to create a desktop shortcut for the individual Office programs. However, if you don't create a desktop shortcut at the time you install Office, and you decide you want a desktop shortcut, you can easily create one.

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, and then point to the Microsoft Office program for which you want to create a desktop shortcut.
  2. Right-click the name of the program, point to Send To, and then click Desktop (Create shortcut).

    A shortcut for the program appears on your desktop.
