• Microsoft Update Product Team Blog: Windows Update and Automatic Reboots http://blogs.technet.com/b/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx What I need to know is how to 'FORCE' Microsoft to allow me NOT to update until I choose to update.
• Change how Windows installs or notifies you about updates
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates If you select the Download updates but let me choose.. option, no updates will install without your approval. Assume an update will require a reboot so don't approve the install of any update until & unless you're ready & willing to reboot.
NB: You can't 'change horses in midstream.' Any changes you make now will NOT be applied to updates already in the installation queue.
Tip: Only obtain driver updates that you really need from the device or computer manufacturer's download page, NEVER Windows Update (i.e., hide any driver updates offered via Windows Update).

The Microsoft Office suite contains a range of office applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet software and presentation program, all of which are useful for business purposes. Microsoft periodically updates the software with patches that are used to fix any security loopholes that are discovered. The updates for Microsoft Office are installed along with the updates to the Windows operating system through the Windows Update service. It is possible to stop these updates, however, in order to save bandwidth if, for example, Microsoft Office is installed on your laptop and you spend a lot of time on the road, where you have to rely on wireless or mobile Internet connections.
