twig123 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Applications don't just remove themselves... If they ARE, you have a bigger issue... or someone is accessing the system removing the applications.However, for your question. Try OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 the shortcut was probably deleted. shortcuts also don't delete themselves but it could be a program like desktop unused icon cleanup.to locate word, go to c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword.exe or c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\winword.exe (or 2003 or 2007). Also change c:\ to your windows system drive if it is something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlash428 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah, I have to agree that I'd be a bit more concerned about the "disappearing" applications. When you try to open the file, does it actaully say that the computer can't figure out what program to use to open it, or are you getting some other type of error? To just "disappear" would be VERY STRANGE behavior, and if true, would be indicative of a much more serious problem--so you may want to let us know some more details about that.That aside, I second the recommendation of Open Office as an alternative the the Microsoft Office suite.
