Can I obtain a CD with the SP3 for Office?

I'm on dial up. I see that Service Pack 3 for Office takes around 190
minutes to download. Does anyone know if I can obtain a CD of the SP please?
I reside in the UK.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem, with the additional hurdle of my ISP
only allowing a maximum of 120mins continuous connection time. Catch-22...

MS(UK) advised me to get a CD from their 'partners', PC World or Dixons.
I tried that and PC World said that MS(UK) were talking rubbish and they
refused to even burn the file onto a CD for me. I also tried PC
magazines for cover CDs which included SP3, but without success.

However, yesterday I found an alternative URL for downloading the SP3
patch. Luckily I only needed the smaller 'client' version as I had all
the original XP CDs. Anyway, it took less than an hour to download on my
56K modem connection.

Best of luck.
