"locking" a document after saving it
I use Word and Excel to create my invoices. What I need to do is, once the
document is saved, to NOT have it updated when ever I update excel and then open the document again. I need to show the info as it was at the time service was performed. How can I prevent the feilds from being refreshed? Thanks Bruce |

"locking" a document after saving it
Best thing to do is to convert the document to a .pdf file. Check out
PrimoPDF for a free converter. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

or by macro Sub BreakLink() Selection.WholeStory Selection.Fields.Unlink End Sub You could incorporate this in the file save routine in your invoice template Sub FileSave() Selection.WholeStory Selection.Fields.Unlink ActiveDocument.Save End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bruce wrote: I use Word and Excel to create my invoices.
