You do not receive software updates to the language packs or to the proofing tools for the 2007 Office system when you visit the Microsoft Office Update Web site

You try to update the language packs for the 2007 Microsoft Office system, or you try to update the proofing tools for the 2007 Office system. To do this, you use Microsoft Update, Microsoft Office Update, or Automatic Updates. In this scenario, you do not receive the updates for the language packs or for the proofing tools.

This behavior occurs because updates to the language packs and to the proofing tools for the 2007 Office system are included in a single Microsoft Update. For example, an update to the French version of the 2007 Office system also applies to the language pack for the French 2007 Office system.

To resolve this behavior, install the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 1. This service pack automatically updates the language packs and proofing tools for the 2007 Office system. In this service pack, only components that are required to update the 2007 Office system are downloaded and installed.
