where do office 2000 (including excel of course) service packs go

[jvoortman]

where do office 2000 (including excel of course) service
packs go. I don't know why they don't give you the option
of downloading and saving them before installing the
various program updates and service packs. This way
whenever I do a fresh reformat of my computer, i need to
spend hours getting all the updates again off of the
internet, where as if I could save thme, I would just have
to re-install. Any help would be appreciated

Don't know about Office 2000......never used it, but Office Download center
offers you the choice of installing or saving to install file to disk.

I have Office XP SP2 and SP3 update files saved on my computer and on CD.

Try this URL.....all one line.

I just clicked download on Office 2000 SP3 and got the option to install or
save.
