Default OLE links.

Hi there,
I am a relative novice on the finer points of word and have recently found this forum.
I am trying to set up a report template that utomatically repeats certain info in a number of places. I have set up tables to provide a rigid framework for the report template so that formats and paragraphs etc cannot be altered by the typists.
I followed some advice in a previous post on this forum, whereby I have copied and pasted as a formatted text link cells where I want the info repeated.
However, for some reason after saving and reopening, some of the bookmarks in the document seem to disappear, rendering the links invalid.
When reopening, a message appears asking if I want to update links to other documents but the links were only supposed to link to the existing document.
Can anybody help with this frustration?
If there is another way of doing it relatively simply, I would be glad to hear. The key is that source formatting must be overridden and the document must be able to be saved under a different document name each time it is used.



Many thanks in advance.

John.

Default Problem sorted!!

I have now found a solution to this problem by reviewing older threads (thanks to those of you who helped the original thread starter). I had been saving the document as a template, which I think was incorrect and by saving as a docx not a dotx, the issue has gone away.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
