I have Word 2003 but get offered Word 2007 updates
Why do I get offered updates by the Windows updater for Word 2007
when I have Word 2003? (I have a Powerpoint 2007 viewer but no other Office 2007 products.) Is it safe to install the updates? |

That's good enough. You have some components of Office 2007. Probably components shared by all the office 2007 products. Give the exact KB article number (KB######) of the update you think you shouldn't be getting. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

What you are seeing is quite normal. It will get downloaded with a bundle of
downloads because you do have an O2007 product, but those unwanted components won't be installed. I regularly see the reverse where Office 2007 is installed but there is still Visio 2003 on the computer. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...

I get offered both Office 2003 and Office 2007 updates (I have both
installed), plus Office XP because I reinstalled the Microsoft Photo Editor from that version. The only ones I reject (aside from Office XP) are the ones for Outlook 2007 (which is not installed) and the spam filters for Outlook 2003 (since I don't use Outlook for mail). -- Suzanne S.
