I hate to be the bearer of bad news but UpdateChecker from www.filehippo.com is much better and easier to use. It doesn't tell you that your version of Word is out of date and that you can download a trial version. What's the point? UpdatChecker will also inform you if your graphics software is out of date. Downloading is a breeze, too.
