attachments - pdf: very cool....

[Paul M. Hudy]

Well....there appears to be a bit troubling (read SHOW STOPPER!) on the use 
of attachments inside Outliner Pro. Or at least very different than what I 
expected, so perhaps someone can verify or help me out:

I create an OO doc. I drag/drop a file name from the finder into an OO line 
- an XLS file, for example.

If I make any changes inside the XLS document inside of excel, the file or 
these changes are not updated in the link inside of OO. I can open the file 
inside of XLS and the changes are there. If I open the file via the link in 
OO, what comes up is not the changed file, but the older version with the 
same name.

any thoughts?

Paul
