Diane,

I have the new 12.2.0 installed and have no issues.

I do have one question if I ever have to reinstall Office 2008 again.
My 2008 disc installs a12.0.0 and the last time I had to do a reinstall,
the updater did an update to something like 12.0.1 then I ran the combo.

The reason for asking is there any reason to save the old updaters
or will the new Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg do it all?

Office2008-1219UpdateEN.dmg <---- can this be trashed?
Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg

With the original DVDs you only need these updaters.

12.1.0 <---this one you will always need
12.2.0

All recent updates have been issued using 12.1.0 as the base. Currently the
shipping DVDs come with 12.1.0.

Hope this helps!

Thanks......just wanted to check before trashing the old updates. I
don't have a 12.1.0 update. The last time I had to re-install my disk
put on 12.0.0 and the first time I tried to launch it. the updater jumped
in and moved it to 12.1.0. Hopefully, I will not have to do it again.

The new 12.2.0 has been working great

Thank
