Default Managing Links between Excel and Word

Hi,
Each month I create a number of Word reports which are full of tables and
charts linked in from Excel. Is there any easy way for me to copy the last
months base data into a new folder and have the links move to the new folder
ie without having to go into Change Source and manually edit each link?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Not really. However you could keep a folder call current and put you files
with the current data in there. And at the end of each month you could move
all the appropriate files to a month history folder and then move the new
data files into the Current folder. The new files must have the same names
as the prior months files and they must be structured the same.
In that case you won't need to change source since the files will
"offically" still be in the same location.

This may be a hokey work around for you, I don't know.
