Hello All,
I have a perplexing problem hoping someone can help. This may not be an Excel problem, but it is definitely a MS Office problem.
I have Office 2016 on a Win 7 PC.
I have created a Word document where I have pasted a link to an Excel workbook chart. What I am trying to do is prevent the link from automatically updating when open the Word document. I have tried various things ... to no avail.
Here is what I have done:
Nothing works. When I open the document, the Excel workbook source for the links, opens and an update is performed.
Anyone know what else I can do?
Thanks,
Steve

Here is what I have done:
- In Word 2016, I have unchecked the box for "Update automatic links on open"
- In the Word document, I have set the links in question to "Manual Update"
- In the Word document, I have enabled the "Locked" feature for the links (while in manual update mode)
- in Excel, I have unchecked the box for "Update links to other documents"
Nothing works. When I open the document, the Excel workbook source for the links, opens and an update is performed.
Anyone know what else I can do?
Thanks,
Steve
