SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you open a document that contains automatic updating links, Word for Windows prompts you to update the links. If you choose the Yes button, the status bar displays the following message:

Updating fields, X% complete. Press ESC to cancel.

However, if you select ONE link in a Word for Windows document and press the F9 key to manually update the field, only an hourglass displays; no progress bar (or percentage complete indicator in Word 1.x and 2.x) appears on the status bar.



MORE INFORMATION
If you choose the Yes button to update automatic links in a document and press ESC to cancel the update, the status bar displays that the link was updated 100% even though it might not have been fully updated.
