Yes XP SP2 is what I meant.... Great you asked for ideas... The other one I will have to get back to you on direct.... and have done so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger" <rogerbid@xxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 11:47 AM Subject: [mso] Re: Problem auto-updating links in Word Hi Janine, Thanks so much for the suggestions. I have updated XP with SP2, if that is what you mean, but if there is an SP2 for Office then I am unaware of it! I will do a quick search. Err, "put it in AUTO NEW" - not sure what you mean here so will go off and look for that too. Thanks again, Happy Holidays, Roger From: <janine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Subject: [mso] Re: Re Problem auto-updating links in WordDate: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 18:08:01 +1100Perhaps you should also update to SP2 the latest service pack? Don't think it would help but it can't hurt (or can it?).Lots of ideas. From: <janine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 17:54:12 +1100There is a Tools Options that says Update Links on print otherwise write a macro to update all and put it in AUTO NEW and run it on opening the template?..any good...??? Subject: [mso] Problem auto-updating links in Word From: "Roger" rogerbid@xxxxxxxxx; Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 19:02:40 -0500 (EST) Hi everyone, I have a Word document containing numerous links ({INCLUDETEXT....}) to other Word documents, and I want the links to update automatically each time this document is opened. When I go to the Edit menu and select Links, the area of the dialogue headed "Update method for selected link" has only the one item 'Locked' in dark print. I want to tick 'Automatic update' but it will not let me. ( I am using Word 2003 SP1) Can anyone help and suggest what I have done to disable this option?Thanks very much and best wishes to all for Christmas, Roger _______________________________________________ No banners.
