To manually update Microsoft Office for Windows, open Word, and select the “File” tab.Ĭlick “Account”at the bottom of the left-hand pane. If you want to keep Automatic Updates disabled, you’ll need to manually check for and install any updates Office brings. Microsoft Office will now automatically update with each release. Select “Automatically Download And Install.” If “Manually Check” is selected, automatic updates aren’t enabled. The “Microsoft AutoUpdate” window will appear. In the drop-down menu that appears, select “Check For Updates.” To turn on automatic updates for Microsoft Office on Mac, open Word, and select the “Help” tab in the system menu bar (not the Word menu bar). Additionally, I see little reason for wanting to apply that specific update in the first place as it is far from current. I.e., if you do have Office 2008 installed & updated to 12.2.0 or later you can't apply the 12.2.0 (or earlier) update. In the drop-down menu that appears, select “Enable Updates.” Also, you can't apply an update which precedes the current build of what you already have installed. If automatic updates are turned off, you’ll see a message stating “This product will not be updated” under “Office Updates.” Select the “Update Options” button.
