Office 2003 Service Pack 1

Office 2003 Service Pack 1 contains significant security enhancements, in addition to stability and performance improvements. Service Pack 1 (SP1) also includes many performance and feature enhancements to Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003.

Some of the fixes included with SP1 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.


Included in this Service Pack

This service pack includes all updates previously released for Office 2003:

• Excel 2003 Update: KB834691

• Word 2003 Update: KB830000


SP1 will install successfully even if a publicly available update has already been installed on your computer.
