I created a letterhead stationary pad for myself.  I've got it set up with
my logo in the header and address in the footer.  The first page is

I am trying to install auto update and it keeps erroring out with:
The installer could not find Microsoft AutoUpdate, or you have clicked

For some reason, Word X is using blue for track changes on my Mac iBook G4,
