    I have a new PC with Windows 7. Successfully installed Microsoft office 2003. I cannot find the updates for the office suite. Every time I try, I end up in windows update simply for Windows 7 or else Office 2010 etc.
    If I use the update link in Word it just lists apps for me.
    What is the url where I can easily find the software updates for Office 2003 Pro?

    Thanks,

    Jorjab

    PS I still prefer Windows XP.

    That does not work that well. I should have mentioned that in my original post.
    Discovered that
    Some of the Microsoft web sites don't get you anywhere, either apps for Office or Office2010 etc.. Did find this one through your links

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8

    Will continue to search that way. Would be nice if could find link that would tell me which ones I need.

    Thanks anyway. If anyone else finds anything better please let me know.

    Just go to Control Panel > Windows Update > Change settings and ensure that the option highlighted in the screen shot is checked. Run Windows Update.

    If there are any updates for 2003 that you do not have they should be offered to you.

    Pete thanks. My screen did not look like the one in your post. Turns out I had to download and install windows update. That was not obvious on my screen till I dug a little bit further.

    I am trying to set up my new Win 7 PC while getting my work done on my old XP. Which is the one still described under My System.

    Have Windows 7 Home premium.

    Thank You, I can now update Office 2003.

    I did mark it as resolved don't know why that did not work. Marked it before I saw Pete's last comment.

    I just did so again.
