Wants to install for Office 2003 but I have 2007

I have Office 2007 but Update wants to install updates for 2003. I'm hesitant
to do this fearing it would upset my 2007 instance.

This PC came preinstalled with the Office 2003 trial when new, but I
immediately installed 2007 as soon as I bought it. I can' find any reference
to 2003 in the list of installed programs either.

What do you think?

Oh and I was in the Windows update group when I chose to post this and when
I clicked 'Post' it then asked me what group to post to? Duh? But when you go
to the group drop down list it isn't alphabetized, so you have to go throguh
the whole gosh darn list to find it. C'mon....

File dates will keep the update from causing problems. You
have 2007, but there are parts of 2003 in there.

I'd set a restore point and then run the update.

Is Office 2003 Web Components installed? If so, you need to install the
update.
