Hi,
I have recently upgraded from office 2000 to Office 2003.
In 2000 I have often used the paste link option to put an
excel spreadsheet into Word so that a change in Excel is
reflected in the Word document.I recently tried this in
Word 2003 and although all the dialogue boxes looked the
same it did not work, the speadsheet was there but
changes in Excel were not reflected in Word. As I still
have a computer with Word 2000 on it I went there and
tried again and again it did not work. I got out
my "Microsoft Word Inside Out" text and followed all the
steps and it still did not work. Can anyone think of any
reason? Has there been some automatice Office update that
has changed the way that this feature works?
Thanks
 
Hi, Richard.

To control how linked objects are updated:

On the Edit menu, click Links. Click the linked object. To select multiple linked objects, hold down CTRL and click each linked object.

To select how objects are updated, do one or more of the following:

Change a linked object's setting to automatic or manual updating: To update a linked object every time you open the file that contains the object or any time the linked object changes while the file is open, click Automatic update. To update a linked object only when you click Update Now, click Manual update.

Manually update a linked object when you choose: Click the linked object, and then click Update Now.
