Default problems on linked visio diagrams


Hi Robert. Thank you for the response.

"Links" here means, this: I copy the Visio diagram and Paste it as a Link
into my master word document.

To add more -- On the same master document, I inserted another word document
file as a link, and updating that file does not cause problems.

I appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks.

Hi! I have a master document which contains links to visio diagrams. The
master document and the visio diagrams are on Share Point and are saved in
separate folders. The Visio diagrams contains macros.

My problem is that the updated Visio diagrams do not show up in the master
document. Manually updating the links cause errors -- it says it couldn't
find the file. What do you think is wrong?


I'm not sure you'll find many with first-hand expertise in handling such
a "beast"[1-3] (Master Documents with links, both on SPS). When you talk
about "links", what exactly are we facing in this document: embedded OLE
objects? pictures? hyperlinks?

To reduce complexity: have you ever tried the same kind of "link", with
document and target on a SPS site, with a normal document?
