Updates for Word 2002 Only

D

I have OEM of XP Home, with Word 2002 pre-installed. I have some stability
issues that I want to try and correct with an update. The problem is that
when I go and try to install an update for Word, the installer is looking
for the Office XP Service Pack 2, which I don't have because I don't have
Office, and the update is not installed.

Is there any way for me to get updates just for my Word 2002? These updates
aren't just for owners of the entire Office Suite, are they??

Aagggg, frustrating.

The updates are for Office, but when you apply them, they are applied to
just the apps you have installed. Unfortunately, they're rather large
downloads.

So can I get the Office Service Pack 2 safely even if I only have Word 2002
that came with an OEM of XP Home?
