Office 'Word' missing from Start Menu, All Programs, Microsoft Office Folder

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64

Microsoft Office Academic 2010

When I opened the Administrator account for the first time to add a desktop short cut for Word, I went to: Start Menu, All Programs, Microsoft Office Folder, everything was there as expected except no Office Word....

I know Office is installed because my two Admin/User accounts both have the file in the proper place in the start menu.

I can also right click on the Desktop of the Administrator account and pull up a copy of Office Word... it just isn't a shortcut.

I tried the following: Computer > C Drive > Program Files > Microsoft Office > Office 14 > (application) WINWORD (right click - send to desktop)

Note: Computer > C Drive > Program Files(x86), > Microsoft Office > Office 14 > (application) contains no 'WINWORD' file...

I could re-install/repair Office from the installation disc, or leave things as they are. I am wondering what the Sam heck is going on?
