    Office update problem

    Hello. When I go to windows update everything is fine. When I click on the office update link I get huge text on site. I don't mean big I mean HUGE!. Adjusting text size does not help much as it is still huge. I am unable to apply latest patch because I am unable to navigate to acceptance of conditions. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Here is the text at smallest setting: http://www.quickbase.com/up/8q9jbnau...eg/va/text.JPG

    Can someone give me the url to the actual update that I need (at office update - right after lic agreement? I think I need to go through office update because I threw away the office install files and i'm unable to install the update without windows update service. I am able to get to the licensing agreement but I am not able to scroll down to click "ok" to start the install.

    I presume you are trying to install the update for Office 2003 ??

    Direct link can be found in this thread.

    Thanks Reverend, but as I stated in that thread and this: I cannot install that update without the help, I think, of windows update as I am missing files necessary - maybe due to discarding install files upon completion. Office update does indeed inform me of the update but I am unable to reach the install link.

    This is what I see using Office2003-kb828041-client-enu.exe

    I am assuming that office update service would install the update whether or not I have the missing file.

    You need the CD,or the install files on your system so that the .CAB can find the necessary files to overwrite and update.

    What is your Encoding setting under "view".
    Should be set as "Auto-select"

    have you tried a different browser, might only work with IE?

    otherwise, never seen that before.

    only works with IE. I forgot that I made a backup of the CD's so I got the update installed. I still have the problem with office update though.
