Press Alt+F9 to display the field codes and then use Find and Replace to
replace the path in the field code.

I have a Word document with multiple links to the same
Excel file. Is there a way to change the path for the
source file for all links at the same time, instead of
having to do Edit Links ChangeSource for every link? I
want the File Name and Item to remain the same. Thanks.
thank you

This didn't work for me. When I press alt-f9, the links are not exposed. Nothing appears to be happening.
