Linked Charts in Word/Excel 2007
Id appreciate any thoughts on this one its driving me crazy
We have a Word document which has many excel charts that are linked to it Both the Word and Excel document were build it in 2007, so both 2007 pure. But now when we link in the charts they are acting up so we checked the links and it says the link type is a Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet We have made sure our word and excel save options are for 2007 and not auto down saving But it still seems to be when we link Any thoughts because when it does that it makes our charts wacky since we are in a .dotx with linked 2003 charts |

Linked Charts in Word/Excel 2007
Hi gb0dms,
What is the file format of the Excel workbook? Does it have an xlsx extension? Also, if you save the Word document in the 97-2003 format, and format one or more of the charts 'in-line with text', then press Alt-F9, the linking field code will be displayed. For an Excel 2007 workbook, the filename in the LINK field should include the xlsx extension. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "gb0dms" wrote in message ...

Linked Charts in Word/Excel 2007
both the word and the excel are saved as 2007 docs (.xlsx and .dotx)
when we alt F9 it shows the link and the file extenstion is .xlsx but when you go to manage your link either by right clicking and clicking links or by Window|Prepare|Edit/Manage Links it says again the Source File: has .xlsx extension Item in File: has a .xlsx extension Link Type: Here is where it says Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet "macropod" wrote: Hi gb0dms, What is the file format of the Excel workbook?

Hi gb0dms,
OK, In what sense are the charts 'acting up'/'wacky'? Those descriptions don't give anyone much to work with. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "gb0dms" wrote in message ... both the word and the excel are saved as 2007 docs (.xlsx and .dotx) when we alt F9 it shows the link and the file extenstion is .xlsx but when you go to manage your link either by right clicking and clicking links or by Window|Prepare|Edit/Manage Links it says again the Source File: has .xlsx extension Item in File: has a .xlsx extension Link Type: Here is where it says Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet "macropod" wrote: Hi gb0dms, What is the file format of the Excel workbook?

It will either change them into pictures
or change them into objects and when you right click on it and try to open you get the error "Object is Corupt or is no longer available" "macropod" wrote: Hi gb0dms, OK, In what sense are the charts 'acting up'/'wacky'?

Hi gb0dms,
Have you installed the Office 2007 SP1 update? Have you tried repairing your Office installation (Word Options (or Excel options)|Resources|Run MS Office Diagnostics)? -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "gb0dms" wrote in message ...
