One of the things that I always used to neglect to do, was update Office regularly. Office is a Microsoft product, and thus it integrates into your computer. While this is a huge plus for the user, it also creates a big security risk and a window for hackers and viruses. Microsoft releases updates regularly, however, if you don’t go to the Office Update, then you can’t get the fixes (office update is separate from windows update). This guide will show you how to create a Office Update Shortcut in your start menu

Open Internet Explorer type the following into the address line:

http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/mainCatalog.aspx

Click Favorites then Add to Favorites

Then navigate to your Favorites Folder C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\My Favorites

Where YourUserName is whatever your login username is

There will be a Microsoft Office Icon, simply click on it and drag it to the start button to create a start menu shortcut.

Now whenever you want to run office update scan simply click on start then click on the Office Update shortcut you created.

This is a very helpful piece of information; thank you very much for posting this. This is a great website and I'm so glad I found you, even if it is very late (Vista is out now). But I have no plans to update to Vista for a very long time.

Thanks again!!

thanks
