To check and see which service (if any) is installed on your system follow these steps:
- Click Help
- About <the application name. If it is Word, Click "About Microsoft Word", if it is Excel, click "About Micosoft Excel", etc...>
- The First line of the next window will list the application <ie., Microsoft Word 97 SR-1, Microsoft Excel SR-2, Microsoft Outlook 97, etc. These are only examples just for illustration.>
If any of the application show SR-1 then you can skip to SR-2. If no Service Release Package is shown next to the Application name then I would suggest downloading and installing the Service Packs.
