Hello All I have an Excel spreadsheet linked to a Word document. I wish to make changes to the link but the link command on the edit menu is not available. I am using Office 2002.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi retireing,
Are you sure you specified that the spreadsheet should be a "link" and not just a paste? Try doing it again, this time making sure you verify the link:
1. Open Word
2. Insert menu | Object | Create from File
3. Browse to file
4. Click on Insert
5. Put a checkmark in "Link to file"
6. OK

Now you should have enabled Link commands on the Edit menu in Word.

Good Luck,
BlueHorizon
 
Thanks BlueHorizon The checkmark was my downfall. The years are wearing on me.
