Linking Embedded Objects From Sharepoint into Word

S

Simon Pilkington

Hello,

I am trying to link an embedded object from sharepoint into Word.

I open word, select insert embedded object, enter the path to the word document on Share point. Then save the document.

Sharepoint is running on a local server and the word document I am saving is on my local drive.

When I open Word on my local drive it asks if the usual (Do you want to update this document with data from the linked files?)

If you say Yes nothing happens.

You can select Edit - Links from the drop down menu and then click update and it does not update.

If you select manual update and then update now. It updates, the same as when you select teh object and press F9.

Can anyone help me resolve this so I can get this document to auto update when opened.

Thanks
Simon Pilkington
