Thank you to both of you -- I don't appear to have the same set up on my computer - however I have found an 'App Explorer' which I had never 'explored' before!

This has an 'Open Office' App -- but when left clicked I am simply invited to install it -- no option to delete it.

So if you are ever passing through Lancashire..............!

Thank you again for all your help.

See the Windows icon bottom left of the image hallmark posted, have you got that and what happens when you click on it?

I feel like a baby!!

OK -- when I select the Windows Icon amongst the many options listed now are Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word 2010.

If I click on them I am taken to my Control Panel - Programmes and Features.
Listed are;
Microsoft Office (312MB) (Clicking it invites me to install)
Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (only 21.7MB) (I am assuming this is my existing Microsoft Office).

If I then left click the Microsoft Office -- I do get the option to uninstall -- so maybe that is what I should do. - Have I eventually -- after all your tutoring - reached the correct place!

Think that calls for a celebratory drink for all of you. I am so sorry to have been such a thicko and am really grateful to you all for your unending patience.

Moment of panic there.
That might be the correct thing to uninstall but it's Get Office we were looking for.
Don't want you to lose something you need.

I haven't done it yet -- mainly because I was a bit scared of doing the wrong thing. Good job you mentioned that Sinann.

I cannot see anything relating to 'Get Office'. If I do a search via the amazing 'Cortana' - it simply takes me to Web results. -- I am definitely leaving it now and will just put up with the regular pop ups and 'pop' them down!

This has been a useful exercise for me though, as I have visited previously darkened corners of my computer which have never seen the light of day before!!

Many thanks again everyone -- you are stars (and clever ones at that.)

My lay out is a little different because I put my task bar on the side.
Do you get a list as in the first image when you click on the windows icon.
If you do click on the A I marked with a red arrow
it should give you all the letters in the second image
Click on the G and see if Get Office is in the list that comes up
