"edit-links" not available in word 2003??
How come does the 'edit-links' command remain grey no matter what I do? Can
it really be that it's not available? Is there some update available somewhere? I've already tried the alt-F9 so that I could change the name of the source document, but this only shows the end part of the link's name, and so the find-replace command doesn't find the name of the source. What to do? Changing all the zillion links manually looks like a tedious job... |

Hi ?B?VGVsbHU=?=,
You really need to give us more information. What kinds of things are linked into this document? Please be more precise about what you see when you press Alt+F9. (Copy/paste or type out the entire field code in the { brackets }) How come does the 'edit-links' command remain grey no matter what I do? Can it really be that it's not available? Is there some update available somewhere?

(hmm.. my more detailed answer seems to have got lost...)
So, both the source doc and the destination doc are plain office word documents. Links go from a word (a name, actually) in document "a" to another, bookmarked word (a name in a bibliography) in document "b". Now I've had to re-name the source doc. Office assistant suggested that I choose 'edit-links-change source' for redirecting links. Problem is, the 'links' aren't active or available in 'edit'-tool. Alt-F9 only provides a partial name of the link, leaving the source name away, like this: { HYPERLINK "../lLÄHDELUETTELO.doc"\ "Bataille1997" } Thank you for trying to help.

Hi Tellu-
Your problem is that you _do not_ have a Link, you have a _hyper_link... there is a big difference. The directions you were following are for an OLE Object link. In order to edit a hyperlink, right-click it & choose Edit Hyperlink. HTH |:) "Tellu" wrote: (hmm.. my more detailed answer seems to have got lost...)
