OLE Links incompatible with DOCX format?? Help...
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP I like this workaround suggestion quite a bit but after locking all the fields in the document and reopening the document in Word, it still looks for each field in Excel when opening the document and takes quite a bit of time to open the file as it tries to find the source of each OLE link. This did allow me to open the document (whereas before it would get corrupted and totally crash) but it is a very slow open - several minutes. I'm open to any other ideas/suggestions you have thank you!!
AmandaAaron Does the data come for a single Excel workbook, or from multiple workbooks?
If it is just from one workbook, if you upload a copy of the Word document with the fields locked, and a copy of the workbook, I will investigate the issue.
