Word disappeared - so you get it back

• Check recycle bin: Often the Word tile only ended up in the recycle bin. This is particularly easy if you have deactivated the "Confirm" dialog when deleting.
• New Word tile: Click on the Windows button (formerly "Start") and enter "winword" (without quotation marks). If you then open the search result, a new Word document appears.
• Pin Word back to the start menu: Right-click the search result "winword" and select "Pin to start menu".
