Current Cumulative Updates for Office - Q1 2015

  • Article

* Editor's note: This post was written in January 2015 but issues with the system made it not be visible to most users...that issue has been fixed and I've had to re-post it *

As I mentioned in the Current Cumulative Updates for Office - Q3 2012 post, each quarter I will post information on the latest updates for the Office for Windows and Office for Macintosh products.

The information below is being provided regarding the most currently available updates available for the supported Windows and Macintosh versions of Office as of January 1, 2015.

As a reminder on why I'm providing this information and how it should be used, please see my Keeping Up with Office Updates post which discusses the cumulative updates for Office (and Outlook in particular) that companies need to be aware of and push out to their users. 

Note: As of January 1, 2015 the Office product group has made a decision to no longer have both what were known as "Public Updates" (those that you could get through Microsoft Update) and "Cumulative Updates" (separate downloads) for the Office 2013 products, which has always been very confusing (and part of why I started posting this information). Going forward, all updates will be part of the Public Update releases. However, I will continue to post this bulletin quarterly so that you have this information to properly manage updates for desktops, etc.

Office for Windows

Office 2013

Office 2010

Office 2007

Office 2003

  • Office 2003 reached End-of-Life Support on April 8, 2014

Note: Each of the KB articles includes the list/links for all the Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc). Most of you focus on Outlook and that’s the only ones required and is also provided separately but I wanted to provide the larger “Office” list in case you want it.

As a reminder, Microsoft Update does *NOT* make the cumulative updates available to users.  These have to be downloaded and either installed independently or deployed using tools such as WSUS, SCCM, etc.
