I have one problem with section or Object-OLE, In Writer, If I Enter a section with Link or Object with linking, I am able to Edit-> link->Update as many times till the document is open. But if I save & close the document, then after reopening the document Edit->Link option is disabled. So, I am not able to update the changes made in source document. Any settings??
I am working with OOo3.1 on Windows XP.

Szymona You can do this using 'Sections'. Essentially, you set up your document with the text that you want shared in sections which you then link to from the destination document. Any changes you make to the first document are reflected in the destination document when you update the links. See the Help under Links - Inserting sections - inserting sections as a link. -- John [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Standard Disclaimer Conditions as per Tatachemicals Ltd Email Security Policy apply --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
