Have a directory of doc files on a network hard drive (NHD). Brought up a doc (2002 form) & inserted a linked file to another doc on the NHD. Changed the linked file. When i brought up the first doc the linked file changes were not in the doc. Anyone got any ideas? TIA
G'Day Ted, If you change a file THEN All host documents containing a link to that file will show the changes ELSE The host document(s) contain inserted text (from the original file) and NOT a Link! END IF Remove the inserted text Insert>Object Create from file (Tab) Browse .... to file CHECK the Link box OK -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "ted medin" wrote: > Have a directory of doc files on a network hard drive (NHD).

If I understand this then that works fine when the file is on the c drive but not on the network hard drive :-(. Just as an aside openoffice does do the correct thing even when the linked file is on the network hard drive. Go figure.
