Re: Updates to Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

OK. On my system, the Applications folder was also set in "Privacy", which
was bombing installations.

I assume that you "Removed" the Office Test Drive when you installed 2004?
Using the Remove Office tool?

If there are dead bits of the Test Drive still on your hard disk, that will
also bomb the updates.

You may have to run the Office Remover tool from the Additional Tools folder
of your CD, pull out the whole of Office 2004, then start again from
scratch.

Be thorough with the removal: if you do not get it all out, you will keep
the problem.

Hope this helps

I went to systems preferences and the box is ticked for the Applications
folder. And when I put an application name into spotlight it finds an
application.

So as far as I can tell it's indexing Applications.
