No office icons for Microsoft on Windows 8; no Start menu

I downloaded Microsoft Office but without any icons on the desktop nor a start menu, I am feeling a bit lost as to how to use them.  One user on here suggested typing in 'word' on the screen with all the apps, so I can do that and then open a new doc, but it seems a bit circuitous.  Is there a better/easier/more straightforward way to do this?

Answer

The office programs are probably in the Applications under Microsoft Office 2013.

Once you find the program you want, right-click on the icon and pin it to the Start Screen.

Note, I am using Win 8.1 which is slightly different. The screenshot below is from my computer which has multiple versions of Office. Note that the Office 2013 versions are separate.
