MS Office 2000 Premium disk

[Brigitte]

I finally was able to get Word 2000 back after it crashed,
with your Newsgroup help.I still have some problems with
templates.
Now I would like to download MS Office 2000 SR-1.
I have Windows 98 and the disks that Dell provided me
with, are MS works 2000.
How do I get this Premium disk? I do not want to upgrade
the Office.
Thank you,
Brigitte

You can't download Office; you have to buy it. If you had Word 2000 before,
there's a good chance that what you have is Works Suite 2000 (I don't
believe there is a standalone Works 2000), which includes Word. So you would
reinstall Word from your Works Suite CD.

Suzanne, in other words I do not have access to SR-1
patch, without buying the Office 2000 software?
I tried it with the MS WorkSuite 2000 Disk 1, MS Word 2000.

fine for me, before out of the blue it crashed.)

Suzanne, In other words I have to buy Office 2000, if I
want the Service patch installed from the Premium Disk. Is
Word a stand alone product with the Premium disk in
Office?
I tried to get the sr1patch to work with my MS WorksSuite
setup disk no.1 , which has MS Word on it. I does not work.
It was suggested in your knowledge base article that I do
get this Service fix.
(P.S. I do not want to upgrade my word 2000. It worked
well for me, before it crashed out of the blue.)
Thank you ,
Brigitte

I haven't had Office 2000 or Word 2000 or Works Suite 2000, so I can't be
sure of this, but I would think that the SR would be able to update Word in
Works Suite. There's a remote possibility that it's already updated. If you
can get Word open at all, look at Help | About Microsoft Word and see what
version it's showing.
