I did all that a couple of months ago. It took all afternoon! But EE did
work for a while, until recently. I don't have time right now to do it
again. :-(

I had previously run all the updaters, but I ran 10.1.5. When you say they
won't work out of order -- they won't let you run them out of order.

Microsoft has to come up with a better solution than this!!!! Does
OpenOffice include an equivalent to EE?
