Problem with Word

[rossignol36]

I have a problem with Microsoft Word on my MacBook.

I clicked on the icon at the bottom scrool bar and a question mark
came up over the icon. Assuming this was a simple problem (I had a
similar one with the PowerPoint icon about 4 months ago) I drug the
icon into the desktop and it disappeared. I went into the applications
folder and opened the Microsoft Office 2004 folder and discovered
there was no icon for Word, and as far as my computer is concerned,
Word no longer exists. The program was working fine up until today,
when I tried opening it. Is there any possible solution to this
problem without having to reinstall the program?

Thank you for any help you could offer.

See if you can bring it back from the Trash can.

If not, re-installing is your simplest option. Your settings and data will
remain intact if you re-install.

Cheers
