Within a sharepoint document library we have a visio file and a word document.
We link the visio diagrams into the word doc so when the visio diagram
changes the word document will prompt us to update the links which will
automatically insert the updated visio. We link the diagram by right
clicking on the diagram and choosing "Copy Drawing." We then go to the word
document and paste special and choose "paste link" as a "Microsoft Visio
Drawing Object" then choose OK. The object is now visible in Word.
After the doc is saved, closed and then we go back into the word doc is
where we have issues.
When we open the word doc with links we get the following prompt. "this
document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update
this document with the data from the linked files? Yes is selected.
After the document thinks for a minute, the next message that appears is
"Objects in this document contain links to files that cannot be found. The
linked information will not be updated. OK is the only option.
The Word doc comes back and the updated visios are NOTpresent.
We don't have a problem if the files are stored outside of Sharepoint and we
have no problem if the visio is stored outside of Sharepoint. We only have
an issue when both files are stored in Sharepoint.
Let me know if you need further details.
