Default Office xp3 needs CD, OEM office from recovery partition = no CD!

when trying to upgrade Office XP to SP3 I get a request for a cd. My computer
is an older HP that has a recovery partition on the Hard Drive but no CDs
came with it. How do I handle this?
Thanks

Assuming you wish to install SP3 for Microsoft Office XP:

Download and install SP3 directly. Download the "Full File" titled:
OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fulefile-enu.exe (58925 KB).

Office XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)

Carey, I tried this solution as I am having the same problem and it still
will not install. In addition, Excel will not work now. Please advise.
Regards, BGG
