If you’re going offline or somewhere with limited Internet, it’s a good idea to update Office and other software while there’s a fast and reliable connection. If you’re having a problem with Microsoft Office, any support person will ask ‘Is your software up to date?’ - forcing an update answers or pre-empts that question.
