Hello again, it has been some time from this post.

The more I try to understand what I have to do to make your macro work the more wrong I am it seems. Is there maybe a step by step guide for super dummies so I can try to make your macro work?

I think that is the Dummies edition! This is not for the faint-at-heart. Did you download the file at the end?

The macro attached to the post there is in a ready-to-run state, all you need do is unzip it then import it into the Word document, for which you
• press Alt-F11 to open the VBE
• click on your document's entry in the panel on the left
• choose File|Import File
• navigate to and select the unzipped file
• press OK
• save the document.
Done. That's essentially the same as what the instructions in the link tell you to do. There really is nothing to simplify.

Thank you for getting back at this!

Excuse me I did not clarify, I did import your macro and run it, but nothing is happening; the macro runs and nothing changes on any linked item.

The files are like this:

Word file in:

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Workstation\Audit Modules\Company A\END DATA\Report.docm

The Excel files linked on the Word file above are in:

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Workstation\Audit Modules\Company A\Report.xlsm

--- The Report.docm needs to be moved below ---

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Workstation\Audit Modules\Company B\END DATA\Report.docm

The Excel files linked on the Word file are in (same as before):

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Workstation\Audit Modules\Company B\Report.xlsm

So it is a straightforward switch from Company A to Company B, but I guess I am supposed to change something because it is not doing anything as is.
