= SUMMARY =

Word does not support dynamic linking of data from a spreadsheet or document that is linked with the Library Link Spreadsheet or Library Link Document command. This means that the data linked to a Word document is not updated when the spreadsheet or document providing the information is updated.

The links must be manually updated in Word. For example, by going to the top of the document, choosing Library Link Spreadsheet, and pressing ENTER, all spreadsheet links are updated. A similar procedure is used to update data linked from another document with the Library Link Document command.

Note: The Library Link Document command is available only in Word Version 5.00.
