visual difference between linked & stored

Hi,

Is there a way to easily tell if an external document is linked or stored.

I've been storing Word docs (as RTF), but I'm changing my procedure based on a URP3 behavior: namely that when I create a Word based item in URP3, jump (Ctrl+J) out to Word, create a numbered sequence, come back into URP3 and then jump back out to Word, Word's numbering function isn't the same as I left it.

I can go into detail if desired, but suffice to say, I've tested this a few times to be pretty sure of myself in this.

If, however, I create a Word doc, import it as a *linked* document instead of stored, then whenever I'm in the Word doc, the numbering works as I would expect.

So - this shaggy dog is really about two things: (1) letting me easily see linked or stored and (2) figuring out the numbering functionality between Word and URP3.

Thanks.

Regards,
Bal
