Office 2000

[cruzsgal]

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway!

Is it possible to uninstall certain elements of Office 2000, and only keep

what I use? (i.e. Word, Excel)

Since there are no patches available for the security vulnerabilities, I'm

hoping to limit the threat by removing the elements I don't use.

Run setup, custom install and tell it to uninstall what you don't want.

Rest will stay OK.

Your underlying presumption is incorrect.

Here, in order, are the O2K security patches I have installed:



o2ksr1a.exe (on my O2K install disk)

sp2upd.exe

O2kSp3.exe

office2000-KB947361-FullFile-ENU.exe

office2000-kb920906-fullfile-enu.exe

office2000-KB943990-FullFile-ENU.exe

office2000-KB944425-FullFile-ENU.exe

office2000-KB958435-FullFile-ENU.exe



They are all available at the microsoft site, and I would install them. My

experience was that a Google search is the best way to find them. On-site

search was useless, but maybe that has changed.

Not a dumb question at all. It's been quite a while since I used O2000, but

I think you can run Setup, choose a custom install, then change the features

you want to remove from "Installed on my computer" to "Not available" (or

similar wording).
