Product Updates Alert: New Office Updates are Available- July 12,

I received the above alert that included the following alert that pertained
to me:

Security Update for Word 2002 (KB895589)
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word 2002 that could allow
arbitrary code to run when you open a maliciously modified document. The July
12, 2005 update resolves this vulnerability so that Word 2002 documents are
handled appropriately.

However, the office website says that I do not need any updates (the update
was supposed to be available yesterday) and this update is not showing in my
security updates list in the (add/remove programs list). The only update for
July 12, 2005 is an XP update.

Sometimes I have to ask myself, "HELLO, is anyone there?" I went to the
Microsoft update site and reviewed installed updates and guess what was
there; you got it, it was the "Security Update for Word 2002 (KB895589)".
Lesson learned, if all else fails, follow the instructions!
