Go to microsoft office-- microsoft office tools-- microsoft office picture manager-- help-- detect and repair-- check restore my shortcuts while repairing.

This should restore all the microsoft office shortcuts and icons

Never mind

Right click on desktop

then click on New Microsoft word
Hello Ambucias,

Thanks for your response.
However, I am unable to solve the problem following your instruction.

I right clicked on desktop-clicked on new-then clicked on New Microsoft word.

I opened the new file but the Microsoft word icon doesn't change.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,
Bikash

Consider restoring your system to a date where everything was working correctly
