Default Linked Charts in Word/Excel 2007

Hi gb0dms,

What is the file format of the Excel workbook? Does it have an xlsx extension?

Also, if you save the Word document in the 97-2003 format, and format one or more of the charts 'in-line with text', then press
Alt-F9, the linking field code will be displayed. For an Excel 2007 workbook, the filename in the LINK field should include the xlsx
extension.

Id appreciate any thoughts on this one its driving me crazy
We have a Word document which has many excel charts that are linked to it
Both the Word and Excel document were build it in 2007, so both 2007 pure.
But now when we link in the charts they are acting up so we checked the links
and it says the €ślink type€ť is a Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet
We have made sure our word and excel save options are for 2007 and not auto
down saving
But it still seems to be when we link
Any thoughts because when it does that it makes our charts wacky since we
are in a .dotx with linked 2003 charts
