Hi,

I just got a new Microsoft keyboard and mouse. You can assign favorites keys
to the keyboard by typing in the path of the program or using the browse
feature. I would like to assign Word 2007 to Favorites Key 1. How do I find
the path of Word 2007 on my computer? Where do I look?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Just do a system wide search for "winword.exe" which is the Word program.

Alternatively, you can open a command prompt, and execute the following
line:

reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\InstallRoot /v Path

This will return something like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\InstallRoot
Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\

The last part (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\) tells you were
Office is installed. The shortcut to Word is that value followed by
"winword.exe". So in the above case:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe
