Updating Document Links

Normally, if you have linked information in your document, the information is updated whenever you open the document. There may be times when you need to update the links manually, however. You do this by following these steps if you are using a version of Word prior to Word 2007:

1. Choose Links from the Edit menu. Word displays the Links dialog box.
2. Select the link you want to update.
3. Click on Update Now.

If you are using Word 2007, then these steps should be followed:

1. Click the Office button and then click Prepare.
2. Click Edit Links to Files. (If this option is not available, it means that Word doesn't think there are any links in the current document.) Word displays the Links dialog box.
3. Select the link you want to update.
4. Click on Update Now.
