Word 2010 links (from Excel) are causing issues...

[Rudi]

I have a Word 2010 document that includes several linked Excel 2010 tables. When I open the Word document, it opens and closes the Excel file in the background once for every table in the Word document. Since there are several tables linked to the Excel file, it takes up to 10 minutes to open the Word document. Does any one have a solution for this? Any suggestions?

Hi Rudi,

If you don't need the links to update every time, you could change them from automatic to manual.
