Office 2000 update inquiry

I am using Windows XP Pro SP1 with Office 2000 and IE6.0.
Yesterday I went to office.microsoft.com to see if I
needed any critical update. There are 8 listed. I can
only download one at a time. I downloaded Office SR1a
first. The next 7 are listed below and I need to know if
I actually need them and if so is there anything I need
to do before install of each item? I have SP1 and some of
the updates are for SP3. If I update to SP3, won't this
interfere with the SP1 that I now have?
Updates needed for my computer are:
1. Office SP3 English version
2. Office Security Patch KB822035
3. Office Security Patch KB830347
4. Excel Security Patch KB830349
5. Outlook 2000 Update of 12/8/02
6. Office 2000 Wordperfect 5.x converter security patch
(I don't even use Wordperfect and am not even sure it is
on my computer)
7. Access 2000 Snapshot viewer security patch KB826292
I have read many posts and people seem to be having
problems since installing SP3. Any help is welcome.

SP3 will not interfere with SP1, in fact I believe I recollect that you
cannot install SP3 unless SP1 has been installed
If you read the details given with each patch you will see whether they are
relevent to yr circumstances. If you dont have WP, and do not receive WP
files then you dont need the WP update.
As a general rule critical updates are what they say they are.
I have run SP3 without problems

Thanks for getting back to me. I do have SP1 and I
downloaded office update SR1a. Didn't know if I needed
SP3 or not. Was not sure if I had to disable anything
first or if it would interfere with other programs. I
think I will udate 1-2-3-4-5, but numbers 6 & 7 I don't
use. Your answer back was quite useful. Thanks again.
