Dimmo Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Can I suggest being able to link DOCX tables/Docs, I have a publication with 12 tables that must be changed weekly some are major changes some are very minor but all changes are made by a 3rd party in MS Word and save to a specific folder on my computer having them linked instead of embedded means the resource manager has control over the latest version. My work around at the moment is exporting the DOCX to PDF but does cause a few headaches in other areas. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I'm curious what headaches the PDF approach causes. That seems your best approach for now.

It is for now but I have no control over the content of those files and having to handle them and convert to PDF means more chance of error.

walt.farrell Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Thanks. In the short-term, about all I can think of is asking the 3rd party to supply them as PDF files in the first place Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Dimmo Posted Thursday at 02:50 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:50 AM Can I make an official request for adding Word docs and Tables as linked resources or at the least have an option when placing files to replace existing file.

You already did, in the OP of this thread, but it is a duplicate, as people have been asking for this for quite a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about linked v embedded, the only other posts I can find are about linking across pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and searched and it turns out that the threads requesting this were all from the v1.x series of apps and were evidently never brought forward to the v2.x apps, so probably just as well that you did bring it up again.
