Where Did Outlook Go?

I've recently purchased an HP Envy desktop with Win8. I installed my Office Pro Outlook 2003 (only that) that I've been using for years and all has been great for past few months..
Well, I installed MS Office Pro Word 2003 (only) because Outlook didn't have all the bells and whistles as before and Outlook uses Word as default for use and setup. Wouldn't you just know it, that now Outlook has VANISHED! and I can't find it anywhere...
Am I sunk or is it someplace where I can retrieve it? I had a lot of data there and hate to have to lose it.
Anyone have any quick ideas on what to do?
Thanks ahead of time.
PS
I can probably get my mail thru Comcast by going to their site but I
need Outlook.

When you installed Word, and only Word, you probably had only Word selected out of the whole Office suite.
I think that will uninstall anything not selected. I think.

Did you install this from a disk with the full Office suite? If so, reinstall, but select Word and Outlook.

RIGHT ON!
I saw that from my install disk, but didn't want to re-install MS Outlook and you were right...
I installed Word and Outlook and damn, thar she blows...I just thought that by de-selecting outlook
only Word would install but little did I know....great idea and thanks
ps
didn't lose data either! :>)
