Update all fields and then break all links

sverhaeghe · April 9th, 2009, 05:06 AM

Hi,

I have a kind of 'master document' in Word, which contains links to a large number of smaller word documents. From time to time I need to get a 'snapshot' of this document. Therefore I want to update all links, and after the update I want to break the links.

This can be done manually, via the 'edit' --> 'links' menu, but I would like to have this done via a macro. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

To perform the update of all fields I could use this:

Code:

    Selection.WholeStory
    Selection.Fields.Update

but I don't know how to break all links

Thanks for your help!

Can you try:

Code:

Selection.Fields.Unlink
