Vista - Vista & Word 2003 Default ?

I have Windows Vista Ultimate with Office 2003. When I right click on
the desktop, go to New, I see all the Microsoft Office programs
(Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) except MS Word. In the place of Word, it
says Text Document which goes to NotePad.

Is there a way to change this or add Word to this list New File list?
I don't remember having this problem with XP. Thanks for any help or
suggestions.

Word should not be located on that context menuby default. Note Pad is of
course. . I'm sure you can find a hack to get almost anything on a right
click context. The important thing though is this:

1) When you type winword into the run box, does Word open up?
2) Also is Word on your Vista Programs menu when you click on Office along
with the other apps in your edition of Office?
3) When you type word in the search box above the start menu does it show
up?
