dialogue box pops up whenever i open a document with embedded obje
Hi,
I have some documents in word 2003 which have embedded objects (these embedded objects are some word mailmerge documents). Whenever I open any of these documents, I get a dialogue box which says "this document contains links to other files. do you want to update this document with data from other files?". Is there any way to prevent this dialogue box from appearing? I mean obviously I want the data to be updated automatically, otherwise why would I use embedded objects. Thanks and regards, Meenu. |

That's a fairly unusual application.
You can turn it off by going to ToolsOptionsGeneral and uncheck the box to "Automatically update links on open". Though maybe, you have that box unchecked and if you check it, the update will take place without you being prompted for it. -- Hope this helps.

Well, the "automatically update links on open" box is checked already. Thats
when the dialog box appears, and when I answer "yes", the file is opened and I can see the updated data. If I uncheck the box, the dialog box does not appear, but then the data is not updated, which is not what I want. So it seems that if I want the update to happen automatically, I will always have this dialog box coming up, which is really wierd. Help please! Meenu.
