Thanks. It appears that Office.X doesn't work as the documentation
says it should. For now, Command-clicking on all of the links and
doing an "update now" seems the best workaround. Of course, ms-word
then requires that the table of contents be rebuilt. I do wish
Microsoft would pay some attention to the needs of book and other long
ms. writers. Or maybe the new 2004 version will fix these bugs.

Thanks again for the speedy reply and regards,
