Hi =?Utf-8?B?S2VsbHk=?=,
I have three word templates (say A, B and C) and one excel template
(say D) that I would like to make into one master template. I need to
be able to link text from A and D into B and C, and text from B into C.
I need to create fifty-odd documents from this "master template", all
with the exact same links but different data. Is this possible?If I understand what you want correctly this is not directly possible,
no. Unfortunately.
The problem is that when you create a document from such a template,
linked to another template, the links in the document would be back to
the *other template* and not to any document created from the template.
Logical, when you think it through, that Word wouldn't know to
"migrate" the links to other documents you're creating in the same
"set".
It would certainly be possible to use a macro (VBA code) to handle
changing the links within a set of documents.
