Sorry...it is still a bit difficult to understand what you are doing...but
it sounds like some of the links just aren't right.
Sorry I can't help further.

Hello! I am sorry not to have been very explicit!
In the Header of each document is a Revision Number and an Issue Date. The
Document Register comprises a table, the first two columns of which are
Document Date and Issue Number.
For any one document, I copy the date and issue number text from the Header,
and in the Document Register I paste these items in the relevant columns
using Edit>Paste Special>Paste Link>HTML Format. So far so good.
(I should mention that initially I used the option MS Word Document Object
in the Paste Special dialogue but this pastes the selected text in a frame
which I then cannot reformat to fit the Table cell where it is pasted.)
If I now change the Issue Number and save the document, and then open the
Document Register, the entry in the Issue Number cell does not reflect the
change. If I left click and select Update Link, I get a dialogue that tells
me "Objects in this document contain links to filesthat cannot be found.
The linked information will not be updated". Occasional while testing by
trial and error, I have had thechange show in the register biut I am not
aware of anything I have done differently on this occasions.
Thanks, Roger

Hi! Maybe I am not as smart as I thought! I have been experimenting with
Paste Special and it all seems very hit and miss to me! Sometimes a link
will update when the original document is changed and saved, and other times
I get the message saying the linked information will not be updated because
the document cannot be found! The document is in the same place it has
always been!Is this a known problem with Word 2003? Thanks, RogerHi again,
Below is a question posted earlier today and to which I have already found
an answer! Sorry to have bothered the group but I really did not think I
would be able to find the answer myself! If anyone has a better way than
using the Paste Link option in 'Paste Special' please post a note, thanks.

Hi, Without going into too much boring detail, let me put to the group a
suggestion an auditor made yesterday!During a comprehensive audit of our
Quality System, I was caught out for not having kept up to date a register
of documents, which records document titles, dates of issue, revision
numbers, etc. Some of the dates were not up to date!!The auditor suggested -
maybe there is a way to get the date column to update automatically whenever
the subject document is itself changed, by means of a hyperlink??? I can see
the point he is making, but cannot imaging how it could be done.If anyone
has any ideas and can point me to a possible solution I am happy to work at
it, and would in fact enjoy the challenge, but right now I dont think it is
possible.Thanks for any suggestions!
Bye for now, Roger
