Hi,

Fairly new to word and I am making a document for work which has linked files in. We are currently embedding the documents within it (about 100 files) so the document is getting quite large (20mb when blank).

I was hoping to create linked files in a folder with the document. The linked files would be hidden from the user so it would work the same but reduce the file size (20mb over our network gets a bit laggy!).

Two things I want to do are when saving the file create a new hidden folder with the new document that links to these newly created documents (ie not using the original links in the template file).

I would also like the links to be in the same folder so I could effectivly move the folder (with the document and linked files) and it will still work.

Is this possible and am I barking up the right tree?

Cheers,
