Replace a Crossed-Referenced Chart

[judas]

Hi, I've been googling this for a few hours no with no luck. I have a
document (word 2007) that has a chart and a "label". I have crossed
referenced to it from several places in the document.
Today I realized the chart has some mistakes, so I had to update it
(pasted from excel, not linked). The problem is that when I update
links in the document, I'm getting a Error! Reference source not found
message, even after "labeling" the new chart with the same name the
previous one had.

Is there a way to replace the old chart with the new one, so I don't
loose my links?

Thank you very much!

You should have replaced just the chart and not the caption; then the
cross-reference would have been intact. Since you have replaced the caption,
you have deleted its bookmark, and you will need to create a new one by
reinserting the cross-reference(s). You can insert one new Xref and
copy/paste it to other locations.

Suzanne, Thank you for the reply...

I Think That's what I did in the first place but didn't work, so
that's why I had the problem. Will try to do it again and if I
encounter any problems will post back.

Thank You.

Actually...a second thought: I just tried this on a word chart, it
works as you say. However, if its a linked chart from excel, shuld it
behave differently?

That I don't know, as I never use charts from Excel, nor do I use the
Caption function.
