Default Update a number of links automatically

The links are to a monthly financials report. So when the word doc (the
report) is done, the new financials need to be done for the new month, eg in
July it is linked to the July financials spreadsheets (names all the same),
then in August the file needs to be linked to the August file, etc each
month. I can easily go into Edit/Links/ and then Change Source for each
individual link, but as there are about 20 links, I have to do it 20 times.
If I select the first link, and change it to the new file, I want all the
links to be linked to this same file. Surely there has to be a way??

Depending on how the links are inserted, you might be able to do it by
selecting everything (Ctrl+A) and pressing F9 (update links).

I have a word file that have links in them with financials from an excel
file. There are about 20 links. Each month when a new report is written, I
need to change the source for each individual link, but as they are to the
same file, I want to change all links at the same time. How can I do
this??
