MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / December 2005Way to update some fields but not others?
Is there a way to update all fields in a document EXCEPT FOR the embedded graphics files? We have a document with embedded graphics that's going to 2 different customers. Every time we update the document for cross-references, etc., the embedded graphics revert back to the embedded graphics for the OTHER customer. How can we get around this? You could lock the graphics fields (Ctrl+F11).  SignatureSuzanne S.

How can we get around this? Yes, or use a macro that picks them out.

How can we get around this? I would lock or unlink the embedded graphics that you don't want updated. Another option would be a macro that updates fields other than linked files.
