Software reports: Office 12.2.1

In putting together a report on MS Office 2008, I would like to create a
report that grabs all systems with 12.2.1... Presently all I can grab, due
to MS, is Version 12.2.0, since the Latest installed update is 12.2.1. Is
there a way to filter on 12.2.1?

My plan ­ that we've tested is to:
1. create a 12.2.1 package
2. offer the package as self service
3. have users update when it isn't interfering with their work

It's worked just fine for my 15 or so testers....
