Whenever I do a clean installation of Windows on my machines, its always a pain having to install the Service Packs for the relevant application separately from the application itself.
Thankfully, with some applications, its possible to slipstream, or integrate the latest Service Pack with the original files and build your self a new CD or ISO file.
Here's how for Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2):
1) Copy the contents of the Office 2007 installation media to a temporary folder, for this example: D:\Office2007.
2) Download the Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) from here:
Download details: The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2):

3) Place the SP2 download in a temporary folder, for this example: D:\Office2007-Updates.
4) Open a Command Prompt and run the following command:
[sourcecode language='html'] D:\Office2007-Updates\office2007sp1-kb936982-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:"D:\Office2007\Updates"
5) Agree to the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then the update will be extracted to D:\Office2007\Updates.
6) Burn the folder D:\Office2007 to optical media (DVD) or create an ISO file.
Office 2007 will now install and then automatically install any updates.
