The most common cause is that someone accidentally moved the Office folder (usually Program Files\Microsoft Office) to somewhere else. This makes your desktop shortcuts point to nowhere and thus they won´t display the program icon.
Right click on any of your Office icons and select Properties. Verify the path, and then load Windows Explorer and check if that path *really* exists or if it was moved. In case it is somewhere else and you are sure nobody reinstalled Office, then it´s only a matter of moving the folder to its original location and your icons will get their looks again :)
Hope this helps!
