You can manage the link states of linked OLE annotations. You can update links, disconnect them, or open their source files in the [Link] dialog box.
Procedure

Select a linked OLE annotation, select [OLE] from the [Document] menu, then select [Link Settings].
The [Link] dialog box appears.

Perform the desired operations, then click [Close].
Important
Once the link is disconnected, the linked OLE annotation cannot be restored. Also, it cannot be edited.
