You'll probably be a lot older, and have gray hairs,
before
you get that working :-) But, it's possible.

LOL!

Naw. piece of cake. Casper does all of the hard work for
you.
Glen just likes to rant and show how ignorant he
can be. Some people are like that for some reason. :-(

Paul made the statement, you ignorant troll. All I posted
was
an LOL to Paul's comment. Still haven't improved your
reading
comprehension, I see.

I know Paul said it you arrogant ass! And you didn't offer to
help, but just laugh like a ranting fool who has nothing to do
but to harass people and to say people said things they didn't
like an evil little worthless troll that you are. I never kill
filed anybody in my life. But you are bucking the limit and I
might make an exception.

Promises, promises... killfile me so you will stop your
trolling, please! I laughed at Paul's joke... can't you even
see
the smiley he included indicating his joke? Geez, you're sad.
Funny, an arrogant ass like yourself calling someone that. You
trolled me for a week or more over the Office update site and
updates, which you were dead wrong about, and you still went on
and on even when confronted with the facts. So please, killfile
me.... I'd consider it an honor coming from you.

You always get things wrong. I was not wrong about supplying a
list of updates for Office 2000. And when I try to help
somebody,
you try your best to cause problems by harassing, belittling,
lying, and using every dishonest means at your disposal. But
that
is what a low life like you do anyway. So no news there.

Your troll-fest wasn't about your list of updates.... it never
was, though that's all you seem to be able to recall... it was
about the Office Update site and the location of Office update
downloads *prior to* Office 2000. You still have that reading
comprehension problem. I suggest you seek some professional help
if you cannot take corrections without resorting to name calling
and slander, which has been you modus operandi every time someone
questions your statements or corrects you.

Naw. you are just being a dumb ass. That only came up much later.
First was your attack of how useless it was supplying the list of
needed updates. But that is just you trying to be as unhelpful as
you can be.

Oh geez, you just go on and on. I didn't say it was a useless list,
I stated that it didn't answer the poster's original question, to
which you replied your list was the only easy way to find all the
OFF2K updates, which is incorrect.... and it went on from there,
with your insistence that Windows Update supplied Office Updates
for
OFF95 and OFF97... an assertion which is also incorrect, Windows
Update never offered updates to Office products.... yet you argued
it ad nauseum. You keep calling names that just point right back at
you.

Just because you didn't understand the OP, doesn't mean I was wrong.
If I was the OP and asked the same thing, that would have been the
answer that I was looking for. Noticed that the OP has left and has
apparently got what they were looking for and doesn't want to bother
correcting the likes of you. And I fully understand that.


So, you have a short memory AND reading comprehension issues.
I understood the OP and answered his question, which was: why was he
being offered OFF2007 updates when he had OFF2000... and the answer
was that he had installed the 2007 Compatibility Pack, after which
one is offered updates to OFF 2007 as well as the installed version
of Office itself. That was his question and that was the answer.

The OP replied tp my post the next day, stated that this was correct
and what he had done. The OP *never* asked if the 2007 updates
updated OFF2000.... he asked why they were being offerred and if he
should install them.

Your list of OFF2000 updates had nothing to do with his question.
The
OP never bothered replying to your post, possibly because it was
irrelevant.

...and on and on you go, arguing your own error.


Are you really that dense, Glen? Why would somebody go to Office
Updates? Let me help you Glen. They would if they wanted to make sure
that their Office was fully up-to-date. And the OP had Office 2000.
And
sure Office Updates found that Office 2007 needed updating and ask why
would it say that when they had Office 2000?

Sure there was plenty of answers why updates would say such a thing.
Like having the compatibility pack that was covered by all. But nobody
but me answered what the OP was originally looking for. That was to
update their Office 2000 in the first place. And we know the OP was
looking for Office 2000 because they just did a fresh install of
Office
2000. And we know Office Updates don't give a rat's ass about
automatically updating Office 2000 anymore. And it wouldn't tell you a
damn thing about any updates for Office 2000.

But you rather play dumb and harass the people who are doing the
helping. And to beat them to death so they stop doing the real helping
and so everybody can be as dumb as you are. I personally call that
just
ignorance and I want no part of that.


Yes, you have more than enough ignorance on your own. Playing dumb?
No, I answered the poster's question. The original poster in that
thread NEVER asked for Office 2000 updates, he asked why he was offered
OFF2007 updates. He never said he did a fresh install of Office 2000
and was looking for updates to Office 2000.

He stated, and I quote:
"I'm running the automatic updates right now and it's offering me about
a dozen Office 2007 patches / fixes. Thing is, I've got Office 2000 SR1
premium installed on this thing ....{names of the OFF2007 patches}....
Do I want to download these patches - even though I don't have Office
2007?"

Nothing about a fresh install of Office 2000, no questions about getting
Office 2000 updates. ALL he asked was why was he offered OFF2007
updates and did he need to install those.

Get over yourself, geez! And stop wasting everyone's time.
