Maybe. I have many, many problems with word right now and was trying
to fix them. Thought this might help. The other solutions people
have mentioned are incredibliy complicated for me and I started on
one of them but I do not have a file or something that is part of the
instructions so I can't do that one. Just wish this software would
actually function.

It could be that because of updates you have already applied, the
update you think you need is inappropriate for your setup.

Thanks. It is set for auto updates but I did try the link above
and it downloaded a few things. I looked at my history and the
security update that I am trying to download for word is not on
the list of things that I downloaded. JoAnn Paules

Trying to do the 10/07 word update and after downloading, I click
on the file
(exe) and a box pops up stating "the expected version of the
product was not
found on your system"

What does this mean and how can I get the security update?
