Where is create new office document command in Office 2007?

[clyde1062]

We recently migrated to 2007 from 2003 and I cannot find the commands to
"create new office document" or "open existing office document" from the
taskbar/start menu. Does anyone have any idea where these commands are or
how I can add them to my taskbar? Thank you!

I have XP Pro and Office 2007. If I select "All Programs", it appears at the
top of the list. If you do as well, you can right-click and select Pin to
Start Menu.

They aren't automatically installed.
Go to Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs (or the equivalent for your "secret"
version of Windows), click on Office 2007, click on Change-Add/Remove
Features, expand Office Shared Features and change the Shortcuts to "run
from my computer"
