All of a sudden my short cut to open or create new document has gone from
the top of the start menu.I have uninstalled and reinstalled office and yet
still have no luck.I am running Win XP and Office XP.How is it possible to
get these back

Thanks

Why don't you generate new shortcuts by right-clicking the associated file (for example: Microsoft Word.exe), and then clicking Create Shortcut. You can then move the new shortcut to the appropriate folder (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\profilename\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office). You could then rename the shortcut to "New Office Document" or whatever you want.
:rtfm: j/k

edit Ooops didn't look @ the date...
