If you experience problems with the Office updates, try to manually download the same and install.
You can search the individual updates here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspxHe just put in the KB number and then perform a search.
If this still creates a problem, then try to disable User Account Control first download before the update manually. See: (Guided Help: settings to adjust user account control in Windows 7):
