Some more detail can help. Are you using Windows XP in Spanish? Which version of Microsoft Word do you have?

Is the image you sent from a program that can do this, but you do not have the program?

 How your  level of English?

This link apples to OLE in Windows XP
Sharing Information Using OLE

OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is far more flexible and can be far more complicated than cut-and-paste or drag-and-drop. OLE enables you to use all your software applications to create an integrated document. For instance, you might want to create an annual report that includes these components:
    Text you create and format by using a word processor, such as Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect.
    A company logo stored in a graphics file created by Adobe Photoshop, Paint, or some other graphics application.
    Data and calculations on operating costs stored in a Microsoft Excel or Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet.
    Graphs and charts, which may come from your spreadsheet package or another graphics package.

Is that related to your problem?
Are all your files Word documents? How many dependent documents will need to be updated? Why are the files not in the proper place? Do the Origin files take up a lot of disk space?

What I want to have is a scritp to change the source :



I use several word templates.
Each work is in a folder.
When I make a new work I select a model folder and copy to a new one. In the new one I need the template pointing to the source files in the new folder. I only need to substitute the work number by the new one in the control of linked documents.

I usually name the files I link/insert as "components" (COMPOS) . They are another docs documents or ods documents from CALC of Open Office. About 10 to 20 files. In each work the components are personalized.

The best way I have found is : Activate codes with Alt+F9. Then find/replace.
