Microsoft Word from Office 2003 Pro on Windows Vista

I installed the Microsoft Office Suite 2003 on a Vista machine. Everything
works fine, however, I noticed that I can't find Microsoft word anywhere.
However, I can move a document into the machine and open it up. Microsoft
Word opens fine, and I can start a blank document from there. I check task
manager and there is a winword.exe process running, but I can't find a
shortcut nor a folder for Word within the Microsoft Office folder. I do a
search in my computer for winword.exe and nothing shows up. It seems like
it's not there but it is because I can run it when I move a document file
from a usb and open it that way. Any ideas?

This is only a guess on my part, but have you tried looking at hidden files?
(Go to folder options in Control Panel, and click "show hidden files and
folders".) I mention this because I could not find any of my Eudora mailbox
folders until I did this. Be sure to go back afterward and select "do not
show...." It does seem surprising that an entire program would be under
hidden files, but I could not even find the Eudora mailboxes by using Search
until I "unhid" them.

Re: Microsoft Word from Office 2003 Pro on Windows Vista

Right click the winword.exe process and select "Open file location"
My Word 2000 version is located at
"C:\Program Files\microsoft office\Office"
