Trouble updating links in Microsoft Word
I am trying to update links in my word file to pull from a file in one folder to instead pull from an (absolutely) identical file in another folder.
I clicked Alt + F9 to reveal the field codes.
I used "find and replace" to enter in the new path - but now the links are completely dead.
I can copy in a new link directly which works and see the field code is*exactly* the same as the find and replace one, but the find and replace never comes back to life.
Can anyone help?
Sorry - I managed to do it. The key to reactivate the deadlinks was to highlight them (or the whole document for ease) and click F9.SDough1987 I want to update all the destination links when the source (excel) changes. It is not dynamic. I had to 'select all' and f9. or when i opened the destination word doc, it offered to update links
Mikeymike2200 Now word has decided to dynamically update. Dont know what changed (gremlins at work!).
Now the problem is that the linked destination is not keeping a consistent format - - see excel source and word destination:
