    Recently I had to reinstall Office 2000. I downloaded all Office 2000 updates, but I was unable to install the following Word, Outlook and Excel updates.

    Word 2000 Update: October 16, 2002
    Word 2000 Update: April 25, 2002
    Word 2000 Security Update: Macro Vulnerability May I, 2001
    Word 2000 Update: Mail Merge Security, October 3, 2002
    Outlook 2000 SR-1 Update: Extended E-mail Security, June 26, 2001
    Excel 2000 SR1 Macro Modification Security Update: April 25, 2002
    Excel 2000 Update: June 19, 2002

    I get the message "Update cannot be applied."

    I have installed all Windows XP critical updates.

    What is causing this?

    Did you install any "Office" service packs? These individule updtaes might have already been included? Might also read through the troubleshooting info at the update site.

    As I mentioned in my original post, I had already install all Office 2000 updates before I attempted to install the Word updates.

    I check out the troubleshooting information at the update site and nothing there helped either.
