Linked files collection in Word Object

[Neil Dittmar]

Hello all,

I need to determine what files have been linked to a
particular document using the Word Object Model. I assume
that the filenames are stored in some type of collection
in the object (as table are, etc.) I can't seem to find
the name of the collection so if anyone can post this, it
would be greatly appreciated.

I'd need a solution for both Word 2000, XP, and 2003
versions. I will be accessing the Word Object Model via
Visual Basic 6.

Thanks in advance,

Depends on how they are linked and the source content type. They are
either Fields (of specific types) or Shapes.

Neil,

I recently wanted to update a bunch of links in some Word documents and used
code similar to:

Sub FindLinks()
Dim lnk As Word.Field
Dim strLinkFile As String
On Error Resume Next
For Each lnk In ThisDocument.Fields
'check the link type
If lnk.Type = wdFieldIncludeText Then
'update the link with the new file location
strLinkFile = Replace(lnk.Code, "T:\\ABC1Depts",
"\\\\usABCw00\\shares\\depts")
lnk.Code.Text = strLinkFile
End If
Next
End Sub

HTH, I don't hang around this NG much, only when looking for an answer
rather than attempting to provide one.
