Windows Updates is offering MS Office 2007 updates - but I have Office2000 installed (?)
I've got an XP machine that I rarely run the MS updates on.
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. The updates are generically described as: "Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 System" "Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 Suites" "Security Update for Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007" Do I want to download these patches - even though I don't have Office 2007? |

You may have the 2007 Compatibility Pack installed, so you can view and edit Office files made with the later version of Office. If you have the Compatibility Pack installed, it takes updates for Office 2007. Alternately, you may have 2007 PowerPoint Viewer installed... that will also require Office 2007 updates. -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ |

If it doesn't say 9.0.3821, then you need the "Office 2000 - SR1aDL.exe" update (53MB) first before you can install SP-3 and the later 13 updates. The question was about the Office 2007 updates... Yes and the question was if Office 2007 updates Office 2000 too? And the answer is, no it doesn't and the above is what you need to update Office 2000. Actually, no.... that was not the question. Re-read the original post. Nowhere was it asked "if Office 2007 updates Office 2000 too". The OP asked why he was offered OFF2007 updates when he had OFF2000, and if he should install them. They can install Office 2007 updates, but it will only help the 2007 Compatibility Pack *only*. While they still have Office 2000 and only patched up to SR-1 and it has much further to go to be fully patched. Why is this so hard for you? Not hard for me at all, but apparently hard for you.... and for what reason must you insult people? There was NO QUESTION OR STATEMENT regarding whether the 2007 patches updated Ver. 2000. The question was, does he need the 2007 patches. Again, re-read the original question. What is so hard to understand? If you go to Windows updates or Office updates and if you have Office 2000 SR-1, Microsoft will show you *no* updates for Office 2000 at all. No matter how unpatched your Office 2000 is. The reason is because that Microsoft has drop support for Office 2000 and also removed the Office 2000 patches. So when I try to help the guy out, you have to play mind games with people and act foolish. Don't you have other people to bother instead?

Windows Updates is offering MS Office 2007 updates - but I have Office 2000 installed (?)

You may have the 2007 Compatibility Pack installed, so you can view and edit Office files made with the later version of Office. If you have the Compatibility Pack installed, it takes updates for Office 2007. Yea, I think I did install the compatibility pack at one point. I downloaded these office 2007 updates and it didn't seem to break anything... I downloaded all Office 2000 updates manually and saved them all years ago. As I figured that one day, Microsoft would remove them from their servers. There was a SR-1 (which I call SP-1 below), but you have that one. Then you don't need SP-2, since SP-3 (it is only about 13MB in size) includes both SP-2 and SP-3. And I also noted the Word 2000 build versions so you know how far in updates Word currently is. Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.2720) Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SP-1) Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3) Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.8968 SP-3) after 13 more updates Then these are the last updates after SP-3. I don't know if Microsoft still has them on their servers anymore, but you can check. REQUIRED UPDATES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- snip Say you know what? There was a SR-1 and a SR-1a. Check your Word build version.

The question was not at any point "how do I find Office 2000 updates". Yes, the support cycle is over for Office 2000. Once support has ended for any product, automatic updates are no longer available, updates must be obtained through the Download Center. So, you want to give the OP info about the unavailability of Office 2000 updates via automatic updates... all well and good. My point is that you never once addressed the original question, not once. Just for clarity, your reference to Windows Update and to Office Update sites for Office updates of any kind, is incorrect. At NO time could you ever get Office Updates from "Windows Update". There have not been automatic updates available from Office Update site for a few years, and they were never available from Windows Update. Automatic updates for supported versions of Office are only available from Microsoft Update, which is a different service than Windows Update. Office Update transferred its updating to Microsoft Update some time ago. FYI.... -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ |

Oh and you *want* to tell him the same line that everybody else told him? And how does that help him Glen? I am waiting! I am trying to help them by telling them what they need to update Office 2000 because they are very unlikely to find it any place else except from me. Just for clarity, your reference to Windows Update and to Office Update sites for Office updates of any kind, is incorrect. At NO time could you ever get Office Updates from "Windows Update".

I don't have 2003 or later so I wouldn't know how that works except the part about 2007 Compatibility Pack, which I too have seen. And prior to Office 2000, Office updates were done through Windows Update. And since 2005, Windows and Office updates can be had through the single Microsoft Update site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_Update -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
