In this tutorial, We’ll know how to launch Microsoft Word from your desktop and open the program:
I am assuming that you have Microsoft Word Installed on your computer and have a shortcut on your desktop:
Locate the Word shortcut: Look for the Microsoft Word icon on your desktop. It might be a blue icon with a white “W” in it.
Double-click the icon: Click the icon twice with your mouse button. This is the standard way to launch any program from a shortcut.
Wait for Word to open: It might take a few seconds for Word to launch completely. You’ll see the program window appear on your screen.
Alternative methods (if you don’t have a shortcut on your desktop):
Use the Start menu (Windows):
Click the Windows icon (usually in the bottom left corner).
In the search bar, type “Microsoft Word.”
When you see “Microsoft Word” appear in the search results, click on it to launch the program.
Find Word in the list of programs (Windows):
Click the Start menu.
Scroll down the list of applications and find “Microsoft Word or Word” from the programs.
Click on the “Word” to launch it.
Additional notes:
If you don’t have Microsoft Word installed, you won’t be able to launch it using these methods. You can check your computer or laptop’s control panel whether the Microsoft Word is installed or not
and if it is confirmed that the application is not installed into your personal computer or laptop, then you’ll need to purchase or download a free trial version of Microsoft Word.
We have told these steps using windows 11. If you have different Operating System, Then there might be slight variations in the steps of accessing the Microsoft Word.
Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial!
