Hi Beth,
No, nothing has changed with the MoreInfo link. If you are using
OfficeUpdate, and if you need the patch, you will see the MoreInfo link right
below the text which describes the patch. I believe its the same if you are
using WindowsUpdate.
To scan your machine using OfficeUpdate please go to
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/maincatalog.aspx
In anycase i have listed the 3 products that we are patching (Office XP
users).
For Project 2002 Security Update: KB831931 v2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B3EBCCEA-B0E4-41C7-A6F4-413864D2CCF3&displaylang=en
For Visio 2002 Security Update: KB831932 v2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=16C2DFFD-7B73-43C4-AB0D-2B5EFC80EB63&displaylang=en
For all other Office Products
Office XP Security Update: KB832332 v2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7D128614-6D34-49DF-8D63-6C17E9A2D312&displaylang=en
Please note Project and Visio patches are already Full File. You can
download the Office FF patch from the link above.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thanks

These Full File patches contain the full binaries and are not optimized. You can use the office update site for detection. When you get to the patch you want to install, click on the "More Info" link. Via that link you should be able to get the FF version of the patch.

I am on the road with my laptop -- don't have the disks with me so I can't install the latest update until I get home, which will be in three months. Word has crashed on me so many times in the past week I count them all. MS must be inundated with the error reports from my system. But NOTHING can happen without those disks.
