To find out if Service Pack 2 has been applied, follow these steps:
Start any Microsoft Office program (i.e. Microsoft Office Word 2003)
Click Help -> About Microsoft Office Word
It should say something like:
Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
If it says "SP2", then Service Pack 2 has been applied.
To check for updates, use any one of the methods which I have noted below:
A) Start any Microsoft Office program (i.e. Microsoft Office Word 2003)
Click Help -> Check for Updates
B) Go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx
and click the "Check for Updates" link.
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. When you get to the Microsoft
Update site, click the "Express" button.
