How to Insert AUtomatic update word link files
I only can insert files with link of Manual Type.
I am not able to edit the links in order to become automatic. I am using Word 2003 with SP-2. I want to be able to open the word file and automatically all links to be updated. How can this be done ? |

Hi ?B?cmZt?=,
I only can insert files with link of Manual Type. I am not able to edit the links in order to become automatic. I am using Word 2003 with SP-2. Not all link types support manual vs. automatic updating. If you're inserting files with a link (IncludeText fields), they should update automatically all the time. I want to be able to open the word file and automatically all links to be updated.

All the links are of type {INCLUDETEXT "complete file path"}.
They are not updated when the main document is opened (I have selected the option "Update automatic links at open" - but by links are not automatic, they are manual, so it does not work). When viewing the existing links they are all of type "text" and with update "Man". The box "Automatic update" in the area "Update method for selected link" is in grey and can not be marked (only the "Locked" box is available for selection). I beleive that it would work if the option "Automatic Update" could be selected, but that option is not selectable (it is in grey).

See this article http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=330079 WD: How the Behavior of the Word Fields Changes After You Install the Word Update The security option mentioned in here is part of Word 2003, right from the start.
