Everyone knows the importance of updating your Microsoft operating system. Upgrades, patches, and security fixes are included to keep Windows running smooth and secure. However, many times users forget to update Microsoft’s Office Suite. As with the operating system, updating Office is equally as important. Not only for upgraded features and stability but also security. Here is how to get updates for Office 2007.

Open Word (or any other Office application) Click on the Office Button and select Word Options, then click on Resources.

A list of different resources comes up. It is pretty straight forward, click on the Check for Updates button.

You will then get a Update Wizard which will guide you through the process of gathering and installing your Office Updates. One other thing, you will need to enable ActiveX a couple of times since the wizard uses the IE engine.
