Way to update some fields but not others?
Is there a way to update all fields in a document EXCEPT FOR the embedded
graphics files? We have a document with embedded graphics that's going to 2 different customers. Every time we update the document for cross-references, etc., the embedded graphics revert back to the embedded graphics for the OTHER customer. How can we get around this? |

You could lock the graphics fields (Ctrl+F11).

I would lock or unlink the embedded graphics that you don't want updated.
Another option would be a macro that updates fields other than linked files. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Would I have to lock each one individually?

Yes, or use a macro that picks them out.
