The last time that Microsoft introduced a service pack for Office 2007's predecessor was in 2005, with Office 2003 SP2. The fact of the matter is that a refresh to Office 2003 is quite overdue. Office 2003 Service Pack 3 Administrative Template (ADM), OPAs, and Explain Text Update is a 390 KB executable file containing: "updated Group Policy Administrative Template files, OPA files, and an updated Microsoft Excel workbook that lists the Administrative Template policy settings and OPA settings," according to the description of the download. Or at least this conclusion can be drawn from a download made available by the Redmond company on July 24. With the Office 2007 System out the door since January 30, Microsoft is now getting ready for the release of the third service pack for Office 2003.
