4. This action will force Office 2013 to download and install new available updates.


Note: Office will usually run these updates in the background and you can continue to use Office while the updates are being downloaded and installed. Occasionally you may be required to restart Office or even the entire PC to complete the updates.

Note: If you do not have the Office Updates option, it is because you have an MSI version of Office installed.  Updates for MSI version are handled by Windows Update.
