'open existing'. 'create new' documents icons

[Q Burrows]

In Office XP (as in all previous versions I can recall),
two icons were permanently installed at the top of the
Start Menu to make it easier to open Office documents.

In Windows XP, they appeared at the top of the All
Programs section, above a horizontal bar, along with the
Windows Update icon.

When I upgraded to Office 2003, those two icons
disappeared and I would like to get them back. Perhaps
they were related to the the old, free-floating, Office
Toolbar -- something I never cared to use.

TIA,

Quentin

These are an optional component. If you rerun the installer, and do a
"Custom" installation, I believe you'll find the option to install them.

(Also, check that they're not already in START | Programs | Microsoft
Office).

I have the same problem. Maybe we'll get a solution. by
the way, If I creat a word document with 2003 can I work
with the document with Word 2002. Any ideas.

2> Yes, the Word 2003 document format will work in Word 2002.
