Is there an mso.dll in Office 2003 that is for Office 20077

Searching at MSFT's support site, I found only 1 article that referred to
OfficeUpdate12.
Not sure that is relevant, not yet read.

I do not have the Compatibility Pack, at least I never asked for it to be
installed, not do I have any viewer on ANY of thse systems with Office 2000,
XP, or 2003.

How could I determine whether I have the Compatibility Pack?

Create or download (if you don't have Ofc2007) a PPTX or DOCX file.

Try to open it in the appropriate Office 2003 app. If it opens, you have the
compat. pack installed.

Tried both Excel and Word.
Both asked whether I wanted to download the compatibility pack.

The article does indicate that OfficeUpdate12 directory will be in
Application Data, not Program Files.

To play safe, I'll have to try to remember to compile using
Office11\mso.dll, instead of Office12\mso.dsl.
