Link field inside header and footers
I'm trying to use a common file for date and subject in the footer of
multiple document. The link field is inserted into the footer, works fine with updates. Save open again and it becomes a corrupt object, not linked or updated from the common file. Anyone know how to fix this or suggest a different method to accomplish this. Tried includetext field as well, but it won't update automatically. Also having trouble using relative ref for linked file location. Thanks. |

Link field inside header and footers
Hi MagicJS,
To see how to implement relative paths in Word, check out the solution I've posted at: http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showto...#entry670 027 I'm not sure that will address the whole issue, though. Have you checked the 'Update automatic links at open' option under Tools|Options|General? Also, if you're inserting a link to another Word document, I suspect you'll find that Word is actually creating an INCLUDETEXT field for you. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "MagicJS" wrote in message ...

In addition to macropod's suggestions, note that you can use a macro to
update all the fields in a document; see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MagicJS" wrote in message ...
