"Can't find launchpad. Please help: I need to open Launchpad to get to TERMINAL to recover a WORD file I closed before saving, but I can't find launchpad; it is not in the dock on my MacBook Air"

Use Spotlight Search:

[Hold Down +command + Press: spacebar]. Type Terminal. Then press return

Open a Finder window, click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu at the top of the screen, click Applications in the Go menu, then scroll down in the Finder window to Launchpad and drag it to the dock.
