No, you don't need to download Service Pack 3. In fact
there is no need to download anything if you are confident
of your security system such as anti-virus/firewall and
you have reasonable knowledge of computer siftware and
hardware. Patches are one way of keeping Bill Gates'
programmers busy.
Have a nice evening.

secure and to prevent crashes. Users who have opted in to Microsoft "Error

Thank you, Eric and John, for your responses. But they
don't really react to my problem. Since I see that my
discussion was not posted, here it is:
I have Word 2002 on my computer (and the rest of the
Works 2002 Suite). The Office download center reports
that I should download the latest Office Service Packs. I
don't have Office, only -- as I said earlier -- the Word
2002 component of Office. The listing of the contents of
the service pack shows a lot of patches/updates for Word
as well as for other components of Office. My questions:
Should I download that nearly 50 minutes of non-
Word "stuff" just to get the specific file or files for
Word? If I DO download the entire Office SP, and since I
would want only the Word portions to be installed, what
happens to the downloaded but uninstalled
OTHER, non-Word portions? Do they remain on the hard
drive, taking up lots of real estate (after all, it will
take 50 minutes to download that SP!)? Can they be easily
deleted? I'd appreciate your response. So, please respond
to my (unmodified)email address:
normjune23(removethis)@aol.com. Thank you.

Again, Eric and John, thank you for taking the time to
respond. But I fear you have not read my discussion.
Whether or not to download Office service packs is not a
question for me of safety; it's a question of what to do
with all the non-Word patches on that enormous service
pack when Word is the only Office program I have. PLEASE
ADVISE.

While you do need to download the whole thing, the installer is smart enough
to only install the parts you need. No need to fear filling up your disk.
