Merge dialog to update links
The main word document opens with the usual question about updating the links
to other files - yes or no. So far so good. I select yes but nothing happens AND there is no error message. However, I can update each chart and graph individually (F11, F9). This is a monthly report that we have been using for some time and periodically (as in our recent corporate update to a new server) I re-link each individual chart & graph. I think (but am not certain) that this problem may have started after the conversion to microsoft from novell. Can someone help? Many thanks as usual. Rita |

I suspect your version of Word may also have been updated and that you may
have been affected by the security-related changes described in the following article: How the behavior of the Word fields changes after you install the Word update http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;330079 However, I can update each chart and graph individually (F11, F9). As a workaround, is it quicker/easier to select the whole document using ctrl-A, then press F9? Peter Jamieson "Rita" wrote in message ...

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. The workaround is perfect. Question - will modifying the FieldCalcSecurityLevel registry key to Level 0 affect anything else besides "Word reverts to the previous field behavior"? as I may ask our IT guy to do that. Thanks again.

Question - will modifying the FieldCalcSecurityLevel registry key to Level
0 affect anything else besides "Word reverts to the previous field behavior"? I can't tell you for certain because changes sometimes do affect unexpected parts of the software. I suppose the main point is that MS has tried to protect you from certain possible security problems to do with fields - you didn't have that protection before the upgrade and you won't have it now. I think I'd warn the IT guy that you might want to change it back again later :-) Peter Jamieson "Rita" wrote in message ... Peter, Thanks for the reply. The workaround is perfect.

Well, since I'm a major keyboard person, CtrlA+F9 will do the trick and seems
to be the safer route. Thanks again for the prompt replies.
