automatic update graphic object in Word 2003
I use XP service pack 2 with Office 2003
In Word 2003 I try to insert picture object (e.g. JPG) and link it to source file to enable automatic update when source is changed. Unfortunatly, Word 2003: 1. does not recognize object as link - after right click "Update link" option doesn't appear as well as link edit option 2. does not allow to select automatic update for graphic object - the option appear in grey and not selectable. |

If you use Insert | Picture | Link to File, then it's Update Field (F9) you
want rather than Update Link. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for answer, but unfortunately it does not fully help.
"Link to file" works with F9, but if I use "Insert and Link", uodate with F9 doesn't work - picture is not updated after it is changed on disk. Using just "Link" dont help - I need option to open document on another computer where picture file doesn't exist Thanks "Suzanne S.

I haven't used Insert and Link, but it should work the same way.

Unfortunetly it don't work in the same way - update is not performed.
Neither via F9 or via "Link | Update now" "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I haven't used Insert and Link, but it should work the same way. -- Suzanne S.
