Office 2003 updates will not install

I have Office 2003 running on Vista Ultimate. There are several updates that
download (especially for Outlook) but they will not install – I have had to
“hide” them so the pc does not continually try (without success) to install
them again and again

Fred thanks but this link is for SP3 covering Office XP and 2002 - mine is
Office 2003 (with SP2) which appears not to be covered

Fred

Thanks - there is a recently released (Sept 07) SP3 for Office 2003. I
downloaded it but tried to install and got the message "Update cannot be
applied" - any ideas how to fix this please?
