I have had problems with Windows saying I have no internet. Following MS instructions have run a reset of windows, that seems to have resolver the "no internet, secure" issue. However, my office icons have disappeared from the bar at the bottom of the screen and I cant find Excel or Word on the system.

I need to know how to reload them.

Thanks.

    To reload your Office applications after a Windows reset, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check if Office is Installed: Go to the Start menu and type "Office" to see if any Office applications appear in the search results.
    2. Reinstall Office: If the applications are not found, you may need to reinstall Office. You can do this by:
      • Visiting the Microsoft account services page at https://account.microsoft.com/services/ (you will need to log in with the Microsoft account associated with your Office purchase).
      • Once logged in, find your Office subscription and select the option to install it again.
    3. Follow Installation Instructions: After selecting to install, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
    4. Check for Updates: After installation, it’s a good idea to check for updates to ensure you have the latest version of Office.

    If you encounter any issues during the installation, you may want to perform a repair on your Office installation or check for any error messages that could provide more insight into the problem.
