@gnnh: "In desperation, after not getting the answer on the Vista.Genearl group, I'm 
posting this to as many groups as I think may be able to help as I suspect 
that the problem could occur in any MS operating system and is not Vista 
specific.  It might just even be associated with MS Word itself.
The problem is as stated in the subject.  After I did a factory reformat of 
a pre-installed Vista Home Premium on an Acer Aspire L3600 and re-installed 
my apps, including MS Office 2007 Plus I found that when I right-click the 
desktop and choose "New", most of options to open a new folder, shortcut, 
Bitmap Image and documents in the Office suite are there except for MS Word. 
It used to be there, now it's not and as far as I can see it is the only one 
missing.  In fact Word shows up when I installed MS Office on my wife's Dell 
laptop as a test. I've un- and re-installed the entire Office suite to no 
avail.   How has this happened, but more importantly, how can I get it back 
in the list?   It's the feature of the right-click procedure, other than 
opening a new folder, that I find the most useful.
Fingers crossed.
Regards,
Bill "
    @invalid: "That's nothing to do with Office, its a feature of your o/s settings
There are simpler ways of creating a new Office doc via shortcut
BTW why crosspost to an ME group, office 2007 doesn't run on ME
