This can be custom so my answer is to search for "winword.exe" without quotes to find it.

Since MS Office isn't a WindowsApp, this doesn't work. This method only finds the Modern/Metro apps (like Candy Crush and Groove).
MS Office is in the folder in program that you specified when installing it from the CD/DVD. With me (for Office 2010) that's c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Office. What is it with you?

It's there

Apparently, Office 365 in Windows 10 is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.
That's where I found Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

What are "all the Office files"?

To some that's the folders where WINWORD.EXE is in and around that folder. To others it's the .doc, .docm and .docx (Word) documents.
