Windows 7 64-bit Office Update in Windows Update

I have a new install of Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.
I have Windows Update running fine for Windows itself.
I have installed Word & Excell from Office 2007, and have (with considerable
effort) located the latest updates for them.

At work, on Vista or Windows 7 Professional, the Office Update/Microsoft
Updates are integrated with Windows Update, and happen concurrently - a
single "check for updates" scans for all, and automatic updates picks up all.

NOT so here at home... I cannot persuade Windows Update applet to show any
interest in Office. When I click the "find out more" button, I get a "needs
administrator privileges" error in IE8; if I disable UAC, I get the web-page
for Windows Update (tells me I'm up to daye) with the tab for Office Updates,
but that just shows up the useless "what people are downloading" - no
priority for or gathering together of the real important security updates.

What on earth do I have to do to integrate Office Update into the Windows
Update applet?

Have you opened Windows Update in Windows 7 and selected Change Settings
from the list on the left? In Change Settings under Microsoft Update is the
box for other Microsoft products checked?
