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?

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.
