If the simple "Check for Updates" method of installing updates is unreliable, why does MS provide it? If the more complicated method that you describe is recommended, why is it not conspicuously documented? I have never had a problem using the simple method that I described. If I had to do new installs of Office using the method that you described, running the CD installer, then all sequential updates to get to current version, with log outs, log ins, and restarts between each update, it would make the task a lot more aggravating. -- Julian Vrieslander <[email protected]> -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
