Scroll down all the way. Get / copy / paste back here the set of lines for (today's ) the last session.

These are the updates that failed to install. The install error was for
the second item. However, each had it's own error code. Maybe they weren't
vital, I don't know.

Hi Babs,

If this is from Automatic Updates (of Windows updates), I'd like for you to post an extract of the WindowsUpdate.log for that session only.

It's conceivable your system may have had an open copy of the Ofiice apps at the time this update was being processed, which would sorta explain a conflict situation.

You may consider this: Close your open user apps. Run 'Help', then select 'Detect and Repair' in one of the Office products.
Let it do a repair. When done, logoff & restart Windows. Then use your IE browser to visit Office Update site.
