New Microsoft Office XP Update--Service Pack 3

March 22, 2004

All Microsoft Office XP users need to update Microsoft Office with Service Pack 3. This update, released March 10, 2004, is especially critical for those using Microsoft Outlook.

Note that your computer WILL NOT GET THIS UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY. However, getting the update is easy.

1. If you installed Office via a CD, you may need that Office installation CD to complete the update. Make sure it is handy.
   A CD should not be needed for faculty office systems, provided you are on-campus or on the campus network via our dial-in system or VPN.
2. Using Internet Explorer, go to http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate
3. Click the link to Check for Updates
4. Install any updates found

It is important that you apply this update promptly to avoid several new security threats.
