Word 2000 support and updates

Like many on here, I am using Word 2000 on W98SE, which I'm very happy
with. I presume that on the same lines as the W98 policy, Microsoft
will eventually withdraw any support for Word 2000. What I want to do
is to get now the various updates for Word 2000 (which are of coures
already applied to mine) and dowload and save them as files on eg memory
stick. Then if in the future I ever need to replace/reformat my hard
disk, and restore from my (old) Word 2000 CDs, I can then apply the
updates. Can anyone help with a blow-by-blow account for this newbie, on

1) how to download the updates without actually aplpplying them (as they
are already applied to the current files.

And then 2) how to actually apply them to a newly copied over (old) CD
if/when the time ever comes.

Also, a little request. Could posters always say (preferably in the
title) what version of Word they are referring to?

TIA.
