923618 - Office 2003 IMPORTANT UPDATE

R

Rod

Hi

Update 923618 - an update for Office 2003 SP3 HAS INSTALLED ITSELF on my PC
today. Why???

It loaded itself (presumably and despite me NEVER having any Office 2003 on
this brand new, clean Vista Home Premium SP1/Office 2007 SP1 PC) to address
security issues? ALL these??????? For Office 2003 that I don't have, never
have had installed on this new HDD and built PC. I built it new to keep it
clean, fresh....

I would genuiely appreciate anyone's advice/thoughts on this...could it be
because I have set my default Word Save format as .doc (Office 2003 format)
and not .docx and Excel default Save set to .xls (Excel 2003 format) not
..xlsx (Excel 2007 format)? If so, what a lot of crap has been installed on
my PC !!!! I am not happy...

It's a rollup of Office 2003 SP1, SP2 and a cumulation of other
fixes/updates:
