I have documents with links attached. I just got this new computer, so i'm
resetting all my settings. When I open the documents I get the "do you want to update links" message, but the link appears as the Pathname {LINK Word.Document.8 "filename"} when I tried to copy that line from the document it showed up in the clipboard as the actual linked document, but printed the pathname. What am I missing? |

addendum to my earlier request for information: when I switch to "reading
layout" view. it displays correctly. "lpatt" wrote: I have documents with links attached. I just got this new computer, so i'm resetting all my settings.

ALT+F9 as indicated in my earlier post should toggle the display of fields
between construction and result. The Reading Layout view shows the result. Does your keyboatd have dual functions for the F keys? If so have you set the correct mode? CTRL+SHIFT+F is by default assigned to Font? On the basis that you may have reassigned your function key, the following macro will toggle the display Sub FieldCodes() ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lpatt wrote: addendum to my earlier request for information: when I switch to "reading layout" view. it displays correctly.
