I wanted to open a file with Word but I don't know where it's located. I know I have it installed on my computer.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
If you really have Word installed then just double-click on the file and it should open in Word.
Alternatively, click on Start-All Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft Word
If double-clicking on the file doesn't work ,and the Menu item is not there, then you don't have Word installed.
And if you type 'Word' in the search programs & files text box does that reveal the Word shortcut?
PS If this is a new PC unless it was supplied with Office Starter then any Word version installed will be a Trial version. Word/Office is not part of win7
