Microsft Word icon is gone.Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I have a question.  Until recently there has been a Micorosft icon on my desktop and it showed up under the "All Programs" list on my Start menu.  About a week ago it disappeared from both of those places and also from the folder in my Program Files labelled Micosoft Office!  I know I still have Word on my PC because I can open previously created documents in this program as well as open a new blank document in Word and save it, etc.  What has happened to Microsoft Wrd?  Thanks.
