cycle through embedded excel chart objects in code

[Jesper F]

I have a doc with several excel object charts.
Can I cycle through these in VBA and change the location of the source file
(excel file)?
I need this so the pair (word and excel file) will work even if I move them
to a different location.
Thansk.
