How do I know if I already have Service Pack 3

[Guest]

I ran office update and was told to download Security update for Office XP,
but when I read the info was told not to do it unless I had Service Pack 3. I
don't think I have SP3 so I went to download that, but when I did the info
said not to do it unless I was CERTAIN I didn't already have it. It suggested
running update to see whether or not I have SP3 but all that did was loop me
round the same circle again.
How do I know for SURE whether or not I already have SP3?

Hi.

How do I know for SURE whether or not I already have SP3?

Check the version number of each executable file in the Office Suite:

File Name Office XP SP2 Office XP SP3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MsAccess.exe 10.0.4302.0 10.0.6501.0
Word.exe 10.0.4219.0 10.0.6612.0
Excel.Exe 10.0.4302.0 10.0.6501.0
FrontPage.exe 10.0.4128.0 10.0.6308.0
Outlook.exe 10.0.4024.0 10.0.6626.0
PowerPnt.exe 10.0.4205.0 10.0.6501.0

HTH.

Geez. That didn't format very well. Let me try again.

Here are the file version numbers assigned to each file for each Office XP
