Replace a Crossed-Referenced Chart
Hi, I've been googling this for a few hours no with no luck. I have a
document (word 2007) that has a chart and a "label". I have crossed referenced to it from several places in the document. Today I realized the chart has some mistakes, so I had to update it (pasted from excel, not linked). The problem is that when I update links in the document, I'm getting a Error! Reference source not found message, even after "labeling" the new chart with the same name the previous one had. Is there a way to replace the old chart with the new one, so I don't loose my links? Thank you very much! |

Replace a Crossed-Referenced Chart
You should have replaced just the chart and not the caption; then the
cross-reference would have been intact. Since you have replaced the caption, you have deleted its bookmark, and you will need to create a new one by reinserting the cross-reference(s). You can insert one new Xref and copy/paste it to other locations. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "judas" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much! Suzanne, Thank you for the reply... I Think That's what I did in the first place but didn't work, so that's why I had the problem. Will try to do it again and if I encounter any problems will post back. Thank You. Actually...a second thought: I just tried this on a word chart, it works as you say. However, if its a linked chart from excel, shuld it behave differently? |

Replace a Crossed-Referenced Chart
That I don't know, as I never use charts from Excel, nor do I use the
Caption function. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "judas" wrote in message ... On Sep 5, 12:11 pm, "Suzanne S.
