We have all read about how important it is to have the current Windows
Updates installed like critical ones. But what about Office Updates and
security. Could not having Office Updates installed compromise a computer
using the Internet and WWW?

Thank you for information.
Susan

Not only Office applications can be compromised if not up-to-date but also
all other softwares.

You really should keep ALL your softwares (and the Windows ,of course)
current/updated.

If you have any other questions ,do not hesitate to contact the Community

Susan;
You need updates for all your software that issues security updates.
That is one reason Microsoft created Microsoft Update which updates
Microsoft Office XP and later as well as other Microsoft products.
Expect the list of supported Microsoft products to grow over time:
