Problems with multiple linked objects
Hello,
I have a question regarding inserting and updating multiple linked objects. I am using Office 2007 but have to work with Word 2003 documents. - I would like to have one (master) word document 2003 which is made up by inserting linked objects from several other objects (on a sharepoint) - the word documents which I would like to link to the master document contain text, graphics and tables a) Version one I created a "master" and inserted links by Insert\Object\Text from file\link to file Upon doing this a couple of times, and the testing by changing one of the linked file-- the changes were not updated into the master b) Version two I created a "master" and inserted links by Insert\Object\Object\Create from file\filen name & link to file ticked The thus created file contained only the first page of the documents, the rest was cut off. Also when opening the master document and then going to Office Button\prepare there is no Links menu showing. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you, Shiri |

Problems with multiple linked objects
Hi Shiri,
Objects or graphics in Word cannot be more than one Word page in size and they carry additional overhead from the originating application. If you're linking to another Word document the Word IncludeText fields would be the method you may want to use, which do not have that particular limitation. ( Insert=Object=Text from File=[Insert]=Insert as Link ) in Word 2007 and Word Reference Document (RD) fields ( Insert=Quickparts=Field=RD ) if you want to pull in complete documents into a Word aggregator document as a linked file (use Alt+F9 after linking to toggle between field code and field results). For a linked object in Word 2007, select the object and right click. Do you get the 'Linked Document Object' menu where you can edit the link(s) and the 'update link' choice? In Word 2007 Display Options and Advanced=General options what are your settings for updating links and fields? ================== "shiris" wrote in message ...
