A couple of days ago, an associate sent me an Office 2007 Word file, which I could not open. To solve this problem, I downloaded and installed the File Format Converters for Office 2007 (Word, Excel & PowerPoint).

Yesterday, I started getting nagged to download a security update for Office 2007. I am currently using Office 2003, since Office 2007 cannot be installed on W2K.

Although I have not installed this Office 2007 update, I don't know what to do. Given the problems with previous updates, I suspect that this is a gotcha that Microsoft developers did not think of.

What should I do?

How do I eliminate the Windows update nagger? How do I prevent this security update from be installed the next time that I reboot my computer.

If the security update is installed, are there any consequences?

Thanks,

Linda
