Microsoft Update Not Detecting Office Updates

I am running Win XP Home with SP2. I have been running the V6
version that is now called Microsoft Update. Today was the first
time that a Microsoft Office Update was released (KB895589). It
is a security update for Word 2002 that I have installed.
Microsoft Update failed to find any new updates for my PC. I
received the Microsoft security bulletin that said there was an
update for Word 2002. I went to the Office Update site and when
it ran, it found KB895589.

Anyone have any ideas why Microsoft Update, which is supposed to
search for both Windows & Office updates did not find KB895589?

Probably because the Office team at Microsoft hasn't propagated the file to
Microsoft Update yet, Alan. Not an excuse, but they're really not used to
anything but their own site yet. Eventually everything will get moved over,
I'm sure.
