How to Update Links Automatically in Microsoft Word 2007

1. Launch Microsoft Word. Whether or not you have a document open is unimportant; you just need to have a program window open.
2. Open a 'Word Options' dialog box. Click Word 2007's 'Office' button--the circle with four colored squares on top of it--which is located in the top left corner of your window. Scroll down to the 'Word Options' button and the bottom of the 'Office' menu and click on it.
3. Set Word to update your links automatically. Click the 'Advanced' button from the left task pane, then scroll down through the options until you reach the 'General' section. Tick the box next to 'Update Automatic Links at Open,' then click 'OK.' Microsoft Word will now automatically update your links each time it opens.
