Sabotage

Someone else was using my computer and somehow completely deleted microsoft office. Is there any way I can get it back without having to pay for it?

Hi and welcome to TSF.

Do you have the Office CD? Rather than delete it, perhaps they actually uninstalled it?

you will need the cd to reinstall. If you do not have it, you will have to purchase.

However, did they delete the program or did they delete the shortcut? Open mycomputer, click on c drive (or whatever drive office was installed on), click on program files folder, and see if there is a folder for microsoft office or microsoft folder or microsoft office folder.

Either way, open the different folders and see if theres files in it. Check for excel.exe or word.exe If either are there, click on it and see if it opens.
