Well, then I'm going to venture a guess that when I ran Monolingual to
remove
languages I don't use, it changed the Office Suite enough to make it
unrecognizable to the update installer. I'll try the reinstall suggestion
you made and see what happens. I'll also tell my listserve about this
issue.
If this works, won't post again, and if I still experience trouble, I'll
be
back.
thanks for your help.
