Using DOCPROPERTY in LINK field
I am writing a long manual in MS-Word 2003 that uses OLE links to MS-Excel
files. Here's an example of one of my links: { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "{ DOCPROPERTY home_folder}RMS 2400\\Book files\\Linked_files\\2400\\Section_2.doc\\RMS_2400 _Slip_Die.xls" "Body" \a \f 0 \p } In this example, please note that I use a custom document property, "home_folder", to store the directory path to the Excel file, "RMS_2400_Slip_Die.xls". The following example shows the link with the value of the DOCPROPERTY: { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "G:\\TRS_Engineering\\Operations manuals\\Work in progress\\RMS 2400\\Book files\\Linked_files\\2400\\Section_2.doc\\RMS_2400 _Slip_Die.xls" "Body" \a \f 0 \p } I thought I was pretty smart when I developed this plan, but Word has won another round against me. ;-) Every time I update the previous link, Word helpfully renames the directory path to the following: { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "\\\\spencerroad1\\groups\\TRS_Engineering\\Operat ions manuals\\Work in progress\\RMS 2400\\Book files\\Linked_files\\2400\\Section_2.doc\\RMS_2400 _Slip_Die.xls" Body \a \f 0 \p } The new directory path is correct and displays the Excel file as it should. It does not, however, use the DOCPROPERTY. When it was time to move the word file to another computer, I was hoping to change the DOCPROPERTY and re-define all of these links. This plan has so far worked for the INCLUDEPICTURE and INCLUDETEXT fields. Can I make it work with the LINK field as well? |
