Updating a Link
Viewer can update information in a .ALA file whenever the linked
information changes in the source document. You can specify to

is selected, the linked information is updated whenever Viewer opens
the image file or anytime the source file changes while the image file
is open. Manual links are only updated when you select the UP-
DATE NOW button in the Links dialog box.

update. To select multiple links, hold down the CTRL key while
you click each link and do one of the following:
