Hello Andralin , Even if you think so, your Word software has not been deleted, as a Windows 7 update does not remove application software! But perhaps your Word was deleted by an accidental action or something else? So the first thing: check that Word is indeed installed on your PC; to do this, press < Windows >< e > => Explorer window; go to this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE 11 OFFICE 11 is for Office 2003 Office 12 is for Office 2007 Office 14 is for Office 2010 So choose the Office 1X folder you see. In this folder, set the view to medium icons (unless you have already done so), and see if you can find WINWORD (with a blue W icon). 1) If yes : right-click on it, and choose from the context menu: Send to / Desktop (create a shortcut); close the window then go to the Windows Desktop; double-click on your shortcut: your Word software should launch. You still need to correct the file association so that your Word documents *.docx (or *.doc) are associated with your Word software and not with wordpad.exe! 2) If no : then you indeed no longer have this program, and you need to reinstall it; for that, go to Control Panel, then click on “Programs and Features” => window of the list of programs installed on your PC; choose the line that starts with “Microsoft Office…”, then click on the button “Modify” or “Modify / Repair”; choose the Modify option to add the Word component. If your problem is resolved, please go to the top of the page and click on “Mark as resolved”. Best regards. 😊
Hello albkan, Thank you for your quick reply. Today, another Windows 10 update and restart. I had 10/11 in C:\Program Files and this afternoon, after reading your message, I wanted to follow the first thing you suggested. I no longer have Program Files but "Common Files" which I opened, but there was no sign of "Office" nor 11, nor 12, nor 14. So, I opened WORD PAD and there I still had my page written, this time partly in small letters in English, and partly in French. I wanted to copy and paste, but it didn't work when I pasted it. I went back to Word Pad and now I have a blank page. The mystery of computing!!! In "Programs and Features," I do not have "Microsoft Office." Thank you anyway for your collaboration. I will try while writing another letter if all goes well. Best regards Andralin -- Thank you very much, have a great rest of the day. Hello Andralin, If you didn't see a "Program Files (x86)" folder, then you should have looked in the "Programs" folder, and not in "Common Files"! And there, in "Programs", you should have first searched for the "Microsoft Office" folder, then a folder called "Office12" (or something else depending on your version). But if you didn't see a line starting with "Microsoft Office" in your list of installed programs on your PC, then you don't have the Microsoft Office software installed on your PC! The software you are using is WORDPAD (as one word); I have it on my PC too (which is running Windows 7), but I never use Wordpad because it's a minimalistic text editor, and I much prefer to use my Word 2007! If you also want to have WORD , I'm afraid you'll have to buy it! Word allows for parts of text in French and others in English within the same document, but I don't know if that's possible with Wordpad! The first thing to know to help you further is: which software do you want to use? The minimalistic Wordpad (which may still suit some people), or the word processing software Word (which is included in "Microsoft Office")? Then, if you want to use Wordpad : no problem since you already have it! If you want to use Word and don't have it on your PC: you'll need to download Microsoft Office 2016 , which is paid. Looking forward to hearing from you. 😊 Good evening Albkan, Thank you for your response and your advice. Indeed, I did not find it in the "Microsoft Office" programs, and I don't understand why, since I have had Windows 10 since the beginning and all their updates. Perhaps, as with every update, there are issues with the new applications, and "Office" may have been removed. I am not a good enough computer user to immediately notice if something is missing; I only realize it when I need to use the specific application. I will try again to write a letter with WordPad and start the printing; if nothing works, I will reach out to "Microsoft support" again to find out more. Best regards, Andralin Good evening Andralin , Attention! 1) WordPad has always been included in Windows, just like Calc (the calculator) or Notepad (the text editor). 2) Regardless of the version of Windows or Office, Microsoft Office has never been included in Windows; this was true in the beginning, but it now needs to be nuanced: because Microsoft Office is installed on some PCs for a trial period, after which it will no longer function unless it is purchased. Moreover, the version of Office may be a limited version: Microsoft Office Starter , whose name clearly indicates its purpose: it’s a version to start , because there are many features from the full version that are missing (or disabled) => impossibility to use them! 3) To launch WordPad , click on the appropriate link in your Start menu, or press < Windows >< r > ( r un); in the window, type wordpad < Enter > 4) Here is a useful link if you want to purchase Microsoft Office 2016 ; I recommend Office Home and Student 2016 for €149 (including VAT, with a lifetime license), because the subscriptions offered end up being very expensive over several years. But make sure to read all the information carefully before making any decisions! So it's up to you in the end! Best regards. 😊 Hello, Thank you for your new intervention. I am a retiree with a rather small pension, so paying nearly €150 for an application that will likely not be of much use to me. Thank you again. Best regards Andralin
