Re-installing Microsoft AutoUpdate

This is a slightly trifling issue but it's just bugging me...

I have a G4 iBook with Office 2004 installed...

somehow I have managed to delete AutoUpdate at some stage

I have searched the original discs, re-installed Office and still no AU...

I can find AU updates on Mactopia but not the original programme...

Anyone have any bright ideas??

Or should I just ignore it and update manually when I remember???

I ran into the same problem with a bunch of Macs where Office 2004 was "custom" installed. The solution was to go back in and re-do the install, selecting "All". It will over-write your existing Office programs, but will not harm any of your settings or documents. You will then have to do the updates because the versions will go back.

will give that a try... thanks so much
