Hi Graham, thank you for your time, I have tried alt f9 and no fields show.
These docs have been a real pain in the proverbial. Thanks again.

There should be no such links between documents unless the documents have
linked fields (ALT+F9 should display fields). I cannot explain it otherwise.

Hi Graham, I am using the office 2003 package. I started the original
document and then used "save as" to create the others. The front page
is basically a cover page so no editing there but every key stroke I
make in any part of the documents is reflected in the other documents
wether the documents are "open" or not. If I change paragraph or text
formatting this also reflects in the other documents, again open or
not, the changes occur at the same position in the document, line and
point position, the changes also overwrite previous data not just
insert.

What is the Word version and what is the relationship between these
documents? What are the changes that are reflected in the documents?

I have a document open in word and when I edit that document
another two documents will show the same changes wether they are
open or closed. The documents have different names but were
created from one original and "saved as"
