This article was previously published under Q79912 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you open a document that contains
automatic updating links, Word for Windows prompts you to update the
links. If you choose the Yes button, the status bar displays the
following message:
Updating fields, X% complete. Press ESC to cancel.
However, if you select ONE link in a Word for Windows document and
press the F9 key to manually update the field, only an hourglass
displays; no progress bar (or percentage complete indicator in Word 1.x
and 2.x) appears on the status bar.
MORE INFORMATION
If you choose the Yes button to update automatic links in a document
and press ESC to cancel the update, the status bar displays that the
link was updated 100% even though it might not have been fully
updated.
