Hi there,

I have a Word template with many links to an excel file. To speed up the opening process, I set Word not to update links upon opening the document.

When opening the templates, the links in fact, do not update. However, when opening documents based on the template, the links do update.

To aggravate matters, it takes forever for the file to open, even when the source file (an excel workbook) is open in the background. It appears to be opening the file separately for each link.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
