Default
You can change the links to manual update. There are various ways of doing this, including:
• Add the 'update links' function to the QAT, then use that to change the links from automatic to manual;
• Edit the LINK field codes to remove the '\a' switch (use Alt-F9 to toggle the field code display for editing); or
• Lock the linked content via Ctrl-F11 (Ctrl-Shift-F11 to unlock).
