odd behavior of 12.2.4 update

List members,

When I check the individual applications of MS Office for the Mac
2008, they all state that they are updated to 12.2.4.
A third-party software updater daily informs me that my copy of
MS Office 2008 needs to be updated to 12.2.4.
I do also have copies of Office X and Office 2004 on my HD.
I'm working on an Intel Mac running OS 10.6.3.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Check with the developer of the third part app. Appears the bug is theirs.

As Rob suggests, this sounds like a matter that needs to be tackled by way
of a setting adjustment in or fix to whatever this "third-party software"
may be.

I'm curious as to why such a program is necessary, though. Office has its
own AutoUpdate app, as does most every other software. Typically the apps
can be set to notify of updates on a periodic basis, including as a matter
of routine each time you launch it.
