Norman: Thanks for the information. I had found it as well on the Microsoft download site and actually downloaded for a manual installation on a test machine. What I haven't been able to do for the past 5-7 days is to use the Office 2004 AutoUpdater come back with the SP2 to install on Office 2004 updated to 11.1.1 (I believe that's the version right before SP2).
Actually, my message was one of a statement of fact and FYI, not one of complaint. Well, the complaint was the bugs in SP2 that takes some doing to fix without a hot fix from Microsoft. With 30+ Macs, plus my personal ones, a hot fix to SP2 installed is better than going through the hoops on 30+ machines. In the meantime, no one updates their Office 2004 nor changes their AutoUpdater from the "Manual" setting. Steve ============================== Steve D.
