Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Office Word 2003 in 24 Hours

I have a lot of linked objects in my Word document, including PowerPoint slides, Excel data, and so on. Can I update them all at once?

Yes. If you want to make sure that all linked objects in your document are current, select any one of them and choose Edit, Links. In the Links dialog box, drag over all of them to select them, click the Update Now button, and click OK. (You can also select all the objects and press F9.)
