Gentlemen,
It is unseemly for you experts to "talk down" to Bill. He might have a
problem hoped to get help, not a dressing down. To put the situation into
perspective:
Whether or not you all know it, something odd is going on with Office 2003
SP2. I installed it via MU's "Custom" option shortly after it was released
to MU. At that time, MU indicated the installation was "successful." Then,
the middle of this past week, I again visited MU and was advised SP2 was
available. Again, I installed it with the "Custom" option and, unlike Bill,
MU indicated the installation was "successful." I don't have a problem with
SP2, just curious about what is going on.
