Sometimes Windows Update will not search for Microsoft Office updates.

Windows will install Windows Update by default on your PC or Citrix XenApp Server. To receive Microsoft Office Updates,
this "Windows Update" function has to be converted to "Microsoft Update". This Microsoft
website provides a VBS script to
enable Microsoft Office updates.
Just copy and paste the script into Notepad (++), save the script as "SetMicrosoftUpdate.vbs". Next run the script in an administrative Command box with:
cscript SetMicrosoftUpdate.vbs
After running the script, you may need to reboot the computer or server to receive
Microsoft Updates (containing the MS Office updates)
