New Product Ends Broken Links in Microsoft Excel Files

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA — LinkTek Corporation announced today the release of a new version of their LinkFixerPlus link maintenance and repair program, designed specifically for users of Microsoft Excel. LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft Excel ensures that links contained in Excel files are automatically maintained whenever files are moved or renamed. This newest version of LinkFixerPlus is part of LinkTek’s continuing series of releases that empower the program to work with an ever-increasing variety of popular file formats.

Many professional users of Microsoft Excel routinely have links contained in their Excel files. Consequently they are often faced with a special problem: what to do when they want to move or rename their linked files. As soon as any of these files (or the folders they reside in) are moved or renamed, broken links are created.

If moving or renaming a file or folder causes only a few broken links, the problem is not severe. The user can manually open each Excel file and manually edit each broken link. But what if moving or renaming files or folders would cause dozens or hundreds of broken links?

This is the problem that LinkTek Corporation’s new patent-pending product, LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft Excel, solves. Using LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft Excel an Excel user can easily move or rename hundreds of Excel spreadsheets and the files linked to them, in batch and have all of the links maintained totally automatically!

LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft Excel gives Excel users the ability to:

  • Rename or move linked files, in batch, using sophisticated rename rules, without causing broken links in the Excel files that point to them.
  • Safeguard healthy links in Excel files, allowing them to be automatically fixed when they become broken.
  • Fix broken links in safeguarded Excel files totally automatically.
  • Generate a report listing all Excel files containing broken links, so they can be fixed before causing problems.
  • Generate a regular report listing each Excel file followed by a list of the files it links to.
  • Generate a cross-reference report listing each linked file followed by a list of all the Excel files that point to it.
  • Report whether a file is being pointed to by any Excel file anywhere on a user’s system, thereby letting the user know whether the file is safe to delete.
  • Perform sophisticated global search and replace operations on file names contained in links in hundreds of Excel files with a single command.

LinkFixerPlus for Webmasters was first introduced at the Fall 2002 Internet World convention in New York City, where it won Best of Show in the design category. Since that time, LinkFixerPlus has been mentioned on CNNfn, CNET Radio, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Excel users can learn more about LinkFixerPlus by calling +1-727-442-1822 extension 8509 in the United States or by e-mailing linkmail@linktek.com. An introductory discount is available by calling the phone number above. LinkFixerPlus is compatible with most versions of Windows.
