Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am just playing around with Linked fields in Ms project (Paste Special => Paste Link). This seems to be quite a powerful feature especially taking into account, that one can link both within file as well as even to outside file (e.g. even to Excel) .

However the big problem is that it seems to impossible to see where the field is linked to. One can see, that there is a linked field (little triangle and “Linked Fields” flag), but I found no way to see, where it is actually linked to

Any idea how I can see it?
