Windows 10: How to pin a tile in tablet mode ?

Good afternoon all, My new laptop double as a tablet. by swiveling the screen all the back back. Now that the weather is getting better I would like to use my laptop as a tablet whil sipping coffee outside. All seems to work ok . . . BUT . . . . I have a basic issue that I can not figure out. In the attached screenshot you see my screen in desktop mode. There are no tiles at all and I seem unable (probably lack of knowledge on my side) to add any tiles to this screen. Hopefully there is a simple solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

MS Office 2016 tiles in Win10 Home and Tablet Mode

It appears that you cannot change the label of the tiles in Win10 Home when in Tablet Mode.

This is major oversight on behalf of Microsoft.

Even Microsoft Office 2016 when you create a shortcut (tile) for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in Tablet mode you cannot distinguish which program is

which from its label unless you actually hover over the tile.

Whether the tile is in medium or small mode each tile is labeled W-Microsoft .... then the program name.

But all you will see even in medium size is W-Microsoft.

Why is that ?

Even to create the tiles for these three program I had to go to the program exe and pin it to start.

Even in ALL Programs while in tablet mode one cannot pin MS Office to start.

MS Office Tools is listed but none of the programs are listed within Tools.

I can't see how Microsoft neglected showing their own program in Tablet Mode.

I am confused as are hundreds of others with the same questions and no answers.
