Similar to the Windows Update Web site, Microsoft has Web sites for updates for the products in its Office suite. This applies to both the Windows and Macintosh versions. If you have Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) installed:
- For Windows-based computers, start your Web browser and go to the Microsoft Office Online Web page. Click the Office Update link on the right-hand side, accept any Active X prompts, then install any recommended updates.
- For Macintosh-based computers, start your Web browser and go to Microsoft's downloads for Office Web page. Install any updates that are needed. If you are using Microsoft Office 2004 or 2008, you can select Check for Updates from the Help menu in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. You may be prompted to enter your Administrator password. Alternatively, you may configure and use Microsoft AutoUpdate, found in the applications folder on your hard drive, to automatically search for and install updates on a periodic or one-time basis.
Note: You may be prompted to put your Microsoft Office CD into your CD drive prior to installing an update. Links to the appropriate Microsoft Web sites are located under the Help menu for Macintosh or Windows versions of Office applications.
If you have questions, please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, send electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or call your department's IT support office.
