SUMMARY
Pressing DEL or choosing the Clear command from the Edit menu to clear the contents of a cell in a spreadsheet linked to a Word Processor document does not update the item in the word processor module of Microsoft Works.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 2.0 and 2.0a. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0.



WORKAROUND
To update a linked information in the Word Processor, from the Edit menu, select Links. Next, choose the Update Now button. This will update the link with the most current changes to the document.
