Relative Path to Link Object

[James Maeng]

Hi,

I'm trying create a Word file that has a linked Excel
graph.

Is it possible to link to the excel file using a relative
path to update?

Thanks,
James Maeng

Hi James,

Word always requires absolute paths for these links,
though you can leave the path out if both the source and
target are in the same folder and will remain there.

If the source is moved to another folder, you'll have to
update the path - even if the target is moved to the same
folder.

For a macro to automate this, go to:

where you can download a Word file with a utility macro.

Cheers
