Linked Excel Tables in Word - Changed File Name, Link Broken

[mlkolb15]

Hello!

I am working on a Word document with dozens of tables. I have pasted all of the tables from my Excel file into the Word document using "Link and Keep Source Formatting." I cleaned up my excel file by changing the names on a couple of tabs, and now I get this error: 

"The item name "tab name!cells" of link "file path to excel file" cannot be found.

Is there a way I can go through all of the linked items to do a blanket update? Is there another way to fix this without re-pasting and reformatting dozens of tables?

Thanks!
