Use Office 2007 Software but Office 2003 file formats
We tried to stay current and upgraded everybody to Office 2007 several years back. Too late we discovered Microsoft made a major change in the way it handles links/link updating between versions. MS engineers have confirmed this was a deliberate change.

The Microsoft suggested workaround is just to save all our documents in the Office 2003 format. We lose some feature functionality, but less than if we lost our link functionality when we copy/move documents to new folders. We could buy LinkFixer and run it all the time on files in the new format, but that seems to be an unnecessary expense for now. When 2003 is no longer supported....
