automatic update linked field

[Guest]

After I updated Office XP with SP3, when I open documents with linked
objects, I am asked if I want to update the linked objects. How can I make
word update the fields without asking me each time? I have already checked
"automatic update" as the update method in the Edit\Links dialogue box.

The update included a field security patch which changes the behavior
of certain Word fields, such as Link fields.

Here's an article that can tell you more about the security patch if
interested:

Note it includes a link at the bottom to a download for installing an
add-in which will allow you to easily modify the security level for
the patch.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
