system recovery uninstalled word/ppt

[confused101]

I recently had to perform a system recovery on my computer. After doing this
I found that my microsoft word and power point have been uninstalled.

The icons are still on my desktop but when I go to open the program a pop up
says that the program has to be installed.

My documents are still in my computer but have been converted into wordpad.

Does anyone have an idea for how to fix this problem!! I have had to do a
system recovery before and i have never had this happen.

Hi confused101,

Sounds like you might need to reinstall MS Office.

Cheers

If this is Office 2003, open one of the other applications (say Outlook) and
run Detect and Repair from the Help menu.
