Non-Service Pack related updates are NOT available for order on CD. An example would be the Update for Outlook
2003 Junk Email Filter, which they release every month.
Service Pack CDs can be ordered here:

At the time of this post, the current Service Pack for Microsoft Office 2003 Editions is Service Pack 2 (SP2).
You should note that Office 2003 Service Pack 2 CDs are NOT available to order at this time.

provided earlier in my post.

To check for other updates (that are not Service Pack related) for your version of Microsoft Office, Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc., use ANY ONE of the methods which I have noted below:
A) In Microsoft "product version", click Help -> Check for Updates
product = the product name (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Viso, InfoPath, FrontPage, etc.)
version = the version of the product (i.e. 2002/XP, 2003, etc.)
B) Go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx
and click the "Check for Updates" link.
A list of products supported can be found here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010402221033.aspx#langSupport
C) Go to
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/
Note: You should be at the "Microsoft Update" site, NOT the "Windows Update" site. Only the Microsoft Update
site provides updates for other Microsoft software, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Viso, Microsoft InfoPath, Microsoft FrontPage, etc.
When you get to the Microsoft Update site, click the "Express" button.
A list of Microsoft products that Microsoft Update supports can be found on the "FAQ" link under the question
"Which products does Microsoft Update support?" which is approximately half way down the page after the large
table of supported Windows operating systems.
