Links do not update automatically.
Hi Jim,
VMWare works great!
Doesn't it just, though :-) I can't imagine how I ever managed without it, and
think fondly of the person who recommended it to me every time I use it.
Your comment "that once a document has stopped updating the links
automatically, it will not do so again" was the key.
If I create a new Word doc and link its fields to my Excel spreadsheet,
changes in Excel automatically update to my Word doc. But if I use my old
Word doc the updates don't happen.
We'll never know what caused my old docs to stop updating, but if I recreate
them and all this works properly, then it will be worth the effort.
Glad you've found a satisfactory way around the problem. Thanks for reporting
back!
