Re: updating includetext fields from a macro
We have a Word doc using {includetext } fields to pull in content (within bookmarks) from a number of files.At least one article on MS Support suggests using the {link} field instead of includetext for informtion that's likely to change.
I created a macro to iterate through the main doc and perform UpdateSource on each of those includetext fields.
It runs, and pretends to do its job.
Unfortunately, the fields don't always update. Both the containing doc and the included docs are on a SharePoint site.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Anyone know of the pros and cons?
Thanks
