LAMBCHOP  Then why does my dashboard widget "application update" advise me to update to this version if it knows that I have MS 2004 installed on my computer? Once again, am I eligible to receive an upgrade from MS or Apple for MS 2008 since I purchased everything on Dec 5, 2007? Appreciate your time by answering my queries.  
(Version 2.1.1)

LAMBCHOP  I still am unable to install this recent MS update. Followed all suggestions: "Help" > "Updates" after opening up Word. Screen stated that there are NO UPDATES at this time. I then went into Applications>MS Updates and got the SAME message. I bought my Macbook & MS Office for Mac 2004 on Dec. 5. 2007. Am I even eligible to receive an MS 2008 upgrade? Is this AutoUpdate 2.1.1 solely available for MS 2008? From what I have read, users who have MS 2004 seem to be able to download it. HOW??????? TX 4 any/all advice :)
