ERPMan's MS Office & MS Works Updates Page - Part 1 (Updated Friday June 27, 2008)

  Maximize the web browser window when viewing this page [using at least 800 by 600 screen resolution].

   I've made this page simply for informational purposes and to make downloading updates faster & easier.
   Download and install these Office updates of their respective versions from top to bottom.
   [a little star * indicates a new system update; the <> symbol means to install a patch with caution because it may have a
    possible side effect; I am not responsible if the updates you download here do more harm than good]

The updates for all versions of Office are listed starting from the recent version of Office at the top to the earliest version of
Office at the bottom.  Note that these patches are for legally licensed versions of Office and not for pirated versions, so for
those using Office 2003 or greater go through the product activation process first before downloading & installing any updates.
An alternative to using MS Office is MS Works.

Updates for Microsoft Office 97, 2000 and XP/2002 are featured on the Office/Works page - part 2.

ALERT! WARNING:  If you use any Microsoft Office programs AND you have applied the original release of the Windows 2000
SP4 Update Rollup 1 pack from MS article 891861, download & install the revised Update Rollup 1 pack.  The MS Office related
problems with the Win2000 SP4 UR1 are mentioned in MS article 904368.
