I have an ID document with a text frame containing a placed Word file. When I change the text in the Word file (and save it) and try to update the link using myLink.Update I get a run-time error saying "Method 'Update' of object 'Link' failed". (All of the properties work, like myLink.Path, except for myLink.Parent.)

Can anyone tell me how to get updates of text frames to work properly?

Thanks.
