Hi MagicJS,
To see how to implement relative paths in Word, check out the solution I've posted at:
http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showto...#entry670 027
I'm not sure that will address the whole issue, though. Have you checked the 'Update automatic links at open' option under
Tools|Options|General?
Also, if you're inserting a link to another Word document, I suspect you'll find that Word is actually creating an INCLUDETEXT field
for you.

I'm trying to use a common file for date and subject in the footer of
multiple document. The link field is inserted into the footer, works fine
with updates. Save open again and it becomes a corrupt object, not linked or
updated from the common file.
Anyone know how to fix this or suggest a different method to accomplish
this. Tried includetext field as well, but it won't update automatically.
Also having trouble using relative ref for linked file location. Thanks.
