ANN: Office 2000 Update - Reduce Requests for Original CDs

[Susan Ramlet]

Microsoft has released English and Japanese versions of an update for Office
2000. Installing this update will allow Office 2000 users to install 'full
file' patches for that release without inserting the CD. There may still be
a few cases in which the source is needed, but testing shows that it handles
the majority of the scenarios.

To take advantage of this feature, the system will need to be at the Office
2000 SR1 level, and Windows Installer 2.0 must be installed.

Why doesn't this upgrade appear when I run Office Update? Are there other
updates that are not picked up by Office Update?

I don't know; maybe it's too new, or maybe it's not deemed as a recommended
/ required update.
