Can I use Office Update without running Microsoft Office?

Can I run Microsoft Office Update even though my computer
runs Windows XP Home Edition? I always run Windows
Update but it was suggested by a third party that I run
Office Update this once to be sure to get all available
Updates. Will this harm my computer? Thank you in
advance for any info. regarding this.

I'm running XP Home on this machine, and I use Office Update regularly.

Go for it!

If I am understanding you correctly, you don't have Microsoft Office, and
someone suggested that you use OfficeUpdate.

OfficeUpdate only has updates for Microsoft Office related applications. If
you are trying to keep your Windows up to date, WindowsUpdate is the place
to go.
