    I have a Word document with multiple links to the same
    Excel file. Is there a way to change the path for the
    source file for all links at the same time, instead of
    having to do Edit Links ChangeSource for every link? I
    want the File Name and Item to remain the same. Thanks.

    thank you

    This didn't work for me. When I press alt-f9, the links are not exposed. Nothing appears to be happening.
