Default How to change (Excel) source of all linked objects in a word docu.

nIn a MS Word document with linked objects, is there a quick way to change
all linked objects (over 50) from one source spreadsheet to a differnet
source spreadsheet? (Too slow to do one at a time.)

You should be able to use the Replace command:

Press Alt + F9, to view the field codes
Choose EditReplace
In Find What, type the old file name
In Replace With, type the new file name
Click Replace All
Confirm the replacement
Close the Replace dialog box
Press Alt +F9 to hide the field codes
Press Ctrl + A, to select All
Press F9, to update the selected links
