Dan,

   Strategies for updating your Office XP installations

   * Apply the full-file version of the patch directly to client
     computers.

     Because full-file updates install complete files, rather than
     patched files, the administrative version of the patch can
     correctly replace any files that have been modified with previous
     updates. Users can usually apply them even when they do not have
     access to an installation source.

   * Apply the full-file version of the patch to the administrative
     installation point and then recache and reinstall Office on client
     computers.

     Users must have access to the network source. To avoid becoming
     out of sync with a patched administrative image, users must also
     recache and reinstall Office promptly.

   * Distribute the binary version of the patch to users.

     Binary patches are smaller and more efficient to distribute over
     the network; however, in most cases users must have access to the
     installation source to apply the patch."
