''Office Update'' is a free online service that allows users to detect and install updates for certain Microsoft Office products. The original update service supported [[Microsoft Office 2000|Office 2000]], [[Microsoft Office XP|Office XP]], [[Microsoft Office 2003|Office 2003]] and [[Microsoft Office 2007|Office 2007]].

On 1 August 2009, Microsoft decommissioned the Office Update service, merging it with Microsoft Update.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/FX010402221033.aspx |title=About Office Update |website=office.microsoft.com |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528120908/http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/FX010402221033.aspx |archive-date=28 May 2010}}</ref> Microsoft Update supported all versions of Microsoft Office up to Office 2007 and later; however, it does not support Office 2000.

With the introduction of the [[Office 365]] licensing program, however, Microsoft once again activated a separate Office update service.<ref>{{cite web|title=Install Office updates|url=https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Install-Office-updates-2ab296f3-7f03-43a2-8e50-46de917611c5|website=support.office.com|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|access-date=4 December 2017|archive-date=23 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200523222354/https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Install-Office-updates-2ab296f3-7f03-43a2-8e50-46de917611c5|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Check for Office for Mac updates automatically|url=https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Check-for-Office-for-Mac-updates-automatically-bfd1e497-c24d-4754-92ab-910a4074d7c1|website=support.office.com|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|access-date=4 December 2017|archive-date=9 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180809152045/https://support.office.com/en-us/article/check-for-office-for-mac-updates-automatically-bfd1e497-c24d-4754-92ab-910a4074d7c1|url-status=live}}</ref>
