winword.exe problem with shortcut
Are you referring to the following error message?
"The item WinWord.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly"
Try to check the target field of this shortcut by going to the Properties dialog, see if it's pointing to the correct executable file. Try to navigate to that path via File Explorer, double-click it and see if Word application will be launched.
If the target field is ok, try to perform a repair of your Office installation via Control Panel, see if this will correct the issue:
