Word O7 looses links with excel 07 when files copied to network fr Brian 11/27/2008 10:23:01 PM I create links in word 07 with Excel 07 that update on my C drive. They work and update when I change data in Excel. However, when I copy and paste on to our network the links do not transfer. The edit links in word still shows links to the C drive. Any ideas? Brian

To see how you can implement relative links (via a macro in the case of Excel workbooks), check out the solution I've posted at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=670027 Note also the associated discussion there regarding Office 2007. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Brian" <Brian [ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AE581465-3665-4060-9A73-5F6031830DAC[ at ]microsoft.com...
