G'day "Mozz" ,

Have you tried cleaning the documents like saving them as html,
exiting word, reloading word, opening the html and saving the doc?

Mozz reckoned:

I have a large bunch of documents with links in them. All the links are set
to auto update. For some bizarre reason, word asks me if I want to update
them everytime I open one of the documents.
What's worse is I want to change a linked document and then select all
affected documents in explore, right click and print. For each document I
still have to click yest to update the links.
I have set the options to update links on open and for printing.
How do I stop this ridiculous pop-up?
