Can I print unlinked text in a word doc that cannot be re-linked?
I was given a Word document that I believe has text within it that's linked
to another document. When I try to print the complete document (98 pages), the document loses 15 pages. The section missing becomes "grayed out" when I click the curser this text within the document. When I run the curser over this text, a message appears "Current Document CTRL + click to follow link". Upon doing so, the curser moves to the very beginning of the document. If I right-click on the text, there is an exclamanation point beside Update Field, where if I click on it, the text then disappears. The text I'm having trouble with is very important. The person who forwarded me this document has no clue how to update the text. Is there a way to unlink the text and still keep it in tact within the document or should I just re-type the missing pages? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Peter Gregory |

It sounds like you don't have access to the linked document.
Put your cursor in the field (the linked bit) and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9. This will break the link and fix the text (provided the text is displayed when you do so). Alternatively press ALT+F9 which will display the field that calls the link - maybe something like {IncludeText "c:/path/filename.doc"} You need to get hold of that document and/or change the path to its current location. If you put it in the same folder as the document and lose the path ie {IncludeText "filename.doc"} The link should be maintained even if you update it. The correct approach will be determined by who is making the changes to the linked text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter Gregory wrote: I was given a Word document that I believe has text within it that's linked to another document.
