Re: Where did the Office update option go?

I can still scan using
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/maincatalog.aspx
...probably because I still have the applet on my computer that scans.

This hasn't been well rolled out. The MS update site says to use Office
Update for Office2000 Apps. The Office Update site says it has been
discontinued. Do these people talk to each other??

If Office2000 support has been discontinued and there are no more updates,
can't someone just say so ???

Don't believe. Try Office Update and see if it will scan

As far as Office 2000 Updates go there is no more. Office 2000 has been discontinued
along with the end of the extended support
