How do I get automatic updates for Office 2003 - NOT Office 2000

[Tessa Smith]

I recently installed Office 2003 Professional, having been advised to do so
when I had problems with Outlook 2000. Now, when I go to automatic updates -
I get updates for Office 2000. Surely MS detects which version I am using?
How can I make it update Office 2003? Or are the Office 2000 updates valid
for 2003?

Hi Tessa,

Check in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel to see if have any 2000 series MS products still listed with your 2003
ones. Office 2003 had fewer products on the CD than some of the 2000 series ones and the 2003 installation would have left the
additional programs. If you do have those listed and are going to be using them then when you the MS Updates site
http://update.microsoft.com you will be offered both 2000 and 2003 updates.

Thank you Bob - yes, I have Front Page 2000 still installed - having found it
impossible to purchase Frontpage 2003 online. So this accounts for it.

FrontPage 2003 is still available for purchase from amazon.com

Unfortunately, I cannot get FrontPage 2003 from amazon.co.uk - they are
apparently finished with it. Nor can I get amazon.com to send a copy to the
UK or France. Pity. I'll just have to go elsewhere for web services.
