Re: Word 2002 - problem wih linked items in INCLUDETEXT

Hi Michael,

Are you certain the cross-references still exist as REF fields, and that the
bookmarks are still present? Are you certain the fields are not locked
(Ctrl+F11 locks; Ctrl+Shift+F11 unlocks)? (Open the original document to check
this).

If that's the case, are you sure the IncludeText field in the target document
has not been converted to plain text, or locked?

Which version of Word are we dealing with?
