SUMMARY
This article explains how to remove the Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1 (SR-1) or Service Release 1a (SR-1a) update after you have updated your Microsoft Office installation. Note that you cannot remove only the SR-1/SR-1a update. You must first remove Office, and then reinstall Office without the SR-1/SR-1a update.

Determine Whether the Office SR-1/SR-1a Update Is installed
To determine whether the Office SR-1/SR-1a update is installed, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start any Office program.
 * 2) On the Help menu, click the item that begins with &quot;About.&quot; For example, if you start Microsoft Word, click About Microsoft Word.

If the Office 2000 SR-1 or SR-1a update is installed, &quot;SR-1&quot; is displayed next to the program name in the dialog box. Note that &quot;SR-1&quot; is displayed whether you have SR-1 or SR-1a installed. This is because the SR-1a update does not update any files that are not updated by the SR-1 update.

Remove Office 2000 and the SR-1/SR-1a Update
To remove Office 2000 and the SR-1/SR-1a update, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a, and then click Add/Remove.

If you are running Microsoft Windows 2000:

In the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, click Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a in the Currently installed programs list, and then click Remove.
 * 1) Click Yes to confirm the removal of Office 2000.
 * 2) Restart your computer if you are prompted to do so after Setup is complete.
 * 3) Click Start, point to Find (or point to Search if you are running Windows 2000), and then click Files or Folders.
 * 4) In the Named box, (or the Search for files or folders named box in Windows 2000), type OfficeHotfix, and then click Find Now.
 * 5) In the search results window, right-click the OfficeHotfix folder, and then click Delete.

Reinstall Office 2000
To reinstall Office 2000, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Install.

If you are running Windows 2000:

In the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, click Add New Programs, and then click CD or Floppy.
 * 1) Insert your Office 2000 CD-ROM in your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, click Next, and then click Finish.
