Does anything like Office Update exist? Downloading and installing those

updates individually is a huge task.



In another posting, I found this link, but I can't get it to work:

http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. That is a helpful link, but no matter which link I pick, I am still

led to individual downloads. Even this one in the KB is no help:

How to make sure that you have the latest updates

Use the Office Product Updates Web site to detect and install the required

updates for Microsoft Office 2000. To do this, visit the following Microsoft

Web site:

http://office.microsoft.com/ProductUpdates/default.aspx



Is there an automated way to install them?

Sorry, I left Office 2000 5 or 6 years ago.

Hi Frederick,



If your copy of Word pre-dates SR1, you would need to install the SR1a update (no longer available from MS). If you've already got

an SR1 or SP2 copy, or you've installed the SR1a update, you'll then need to install SP3 update and any of the applicable periodic

updates that MS issued after that.
