compatibility pack for microsoft office 2003

In any case 'Microsoft Update' - automatic, or manual - will almost certainly have a 'collection' of further updates awaiting you (presumably might include SP3).įWIW - the version number currently reported in my XP 'Add or Remove Programs' is version.

I just downloaded the FileHippo copy to check, and it appears to be of identical version number and file size to the copy that I downloaded from Microsoft some years ago.Īs to your original question - It shouldn't hurt to run the Service Pack 3, even if it were unnecessary - it won't change anything that doesn't need updating. Not sure where the 'version 4.0' comes into play - the installer file is actually version. Did Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3 (SP3) come out before or after Office Compatibility Pack Version 4.0? I can't tell if Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3 (SP3) is an update for Office Compatibility Pack Version 4.0 because most of the information about this has been removed from the Microsoft web site. Should I install Office Compatibility Pack version 4.0 and then install Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 3 (SP3) or is SP3 not required with version 4?

I am trying to install The Office Compatibility Pack so that Office 2003 and earlier can open files created by Office 2007 and later.
