Office Excel, Word, Powerpoint etc. is missing from start menu

I had been using MS Office trial and then purchased MS Office Student and
Home edition. Both programs were showing installed so I deleted MS Office.
Now Excel, Word and Powerpoint are no longer on my start menu (all programs).
The only way I can open a file is to go documents and open them that way. I
have run the Diagnostic Repair and it did not detect any problems so no
changes were made. Can someone help me get Excel, Word and Powerpoint back in
my start menu (all programs)? Thank you. I am running Windoes Vista Premium
Edition.

No help needed. I have resolved this issue. Not sure how to close this post.

Hi Susan

Thanks for letting us know you solved the problem - isn't that always the
way? As soon as you ask the answer becomes obvious.....
