I have my main laptop - a Toshiba L550 which I upgraded from 7 to 8 then 8.1. So far no problems until now. I had Microsoft Office Home and Student installed form the day I got the machine and all worked well until the upgrade. I didn't know that something was amiss until I went to use a spreadsheet the other night only to find that only Word was working (had it on the taskbar).
Have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but clicking on the Microsoft folder in All Programs just makes it vanish and I cannot access any of the applications within it. The program itself is showing up in Control Panel programs and Features so why cannot I access Word or Excel from the All programs list. Is this a feature of 8.1 that I am not aware of as I use Word a great deal in replying to threads in both forums and this is very inconvenient that I cannot.
What I want to do is get at least Word and preferably Excel back as a taskbar icon / start link.
Any suggestions please.
