Microsoft Office Patching & Updates Lists

Like Windows, Office is susceptible to security problems and every effort should be made to update Microsoft Office or indeed any office suite with product updates, patches and fixes. Updates can provide enhanced performance, new features, bug fixes and security updates. At the heart of the Handheld PC experience is Microsoft's Personal Information Manager (PIM) and corporate e-mail solution, Microsoft Outlook.

Outlook has not always been a part of the Office suite of products. Outlook 97 was the first version. However Outlook 97 is not supported by ActiveSync and so cannot be used in conjunction with your Handheld PC. Before Office 97, the PIM and e-mail functionality of office and indeed Windows was a little hazy. Outlook came to exist through the merging of 3 programs. 'Mail' (not to be confused with MS Mail & News which became Outlook Express), the later Windows Exchange module 'Inbox' and Schedule+. All of which were components of Windows 3 / NT 3 and Windows 95 / NT4.

Later on Schedule+ was expanded and when Microsoft started seriously thinking about delivering an integrated Office suite. Was jumped to version 7 and included as the PIM client to Office 95. However at this stage Schedule+ remained a stand alone program. With the release of Windows CE in 1997, Schedule+ 7 was provided on the Windows CE CD along with HPC Explorer and later Windows CE Services.

Items with a * may not be required by all users of the broadest common denominator, standard Office suite for each edition. Users of smaller suites or stand-alone Office products should selectively choose updates.
