 I am new here. Can someone tell me if there is any tool (Microsoft
Resource Kit or other) that will show Microsoft OFFICE patches
installed on a computer by using a command window or command line? I
use srvinfo.exe from Microsoft Resource Kit that shows the operating
system patches with much success. Thanks.

Have you tried "psinfo -h"?

Wow, that's really cool. And fast. Windows should come with something that
works like that.

You might also take a look at MBSA 2.0. It has a command line version also
that may be able to do what you want. It can also scan local and network
computers for missing Office updates. --- Steve

Yes, it certainly does that.
cd to the install dir of MBSA 2.0, such as the default location
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.0
then run the commandline version of MBSA, mbsacli
For example IIRC
mbsacli /n OS+SQL+IIS+Password
results in a patch compliance report for the current machine.
Syntax available with mbsacli /?
