Microsoft Releases Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3)

Microsoft Releases Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) provides the latest updates to Microsoft Office 2000 and contains significant security enhancements as well as stability and performance improvements. Some of the fixes included with SP3 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.

Note: Office 2000 SP3 includes the Outlook 2000 SR1 E-mail Security Update, which changes the way Outlook handles certain types of e-mail attachments. However, the new e-mail attachment handling behavior is customizable. For more information, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 318515.

Microsoft recommends that users install the Office 2000 SP3 update using the Office Products Updates site. This site will detect your Office installation and prompt you to install exactly what you need to be completely updated. This can minimize the time you spend downloading this update. You can also download the Office 2000 SP3 Client Update [12.9 MB] or Office 2000 SP-3 Administrative Update [58.1 MB] separately.

Note: To install SP3, you must install the Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR1a) Update.

For more information on Office 2000 Service Pack 3, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q326585, Overview of the Office 2000 Service Pack 3.

There is no uninstall feature for this Service Pack. If you want to remove SP3, you'll have to remove Office 2000 from your computer, and reinstall it using the original CD-ROM.
