Service releases on CD

[Jon]

Where can I order the service releases for Office 2000 on CD? I have the cd
for service pack 3, but sr1a is not included! I am instructed to download it
on the Web. I can't do this, I have a dial-up connection.

SR-1a for Office 2000 is only 166KB, and should take less than one
minute to download even on a 56K dialup connection. You can download it
from

That 166k file is not the sevice release, it's an installer that downloads
the full package from Microsoft.

I'll be darned, I never noticed that before... it's gotta be the only
service pack that is like that. Unfortunately I don't think you can
order SR1a on a separate CD. The Microsoft website says it's on the SP3
CD, but I already know from past experience that it isn't. I think
you'll just have to bite the bullet and download it. Figure about 1 to
2 hours on 56K dialup. Or if you have a friend with a broadband
connection and a CD burner, you can download the complete SR1a
administrative installation package (52MB) from
