Default Does Excel 2000's Edit Links window show 'break link' and 'check status' buttons?

An Excel 2000 user complains that "all of a sudden" she's unable to
manage links in her spreadsheet. She claims that the 'Break Links'
button, the 'Check Status' button and the 'Status' column used to be
in the link edit window but they've "disappeared". I checked the
spreadsheet in Excel 2003 and these features exist. When I opened the
sheet in Excel 2000 on another colleagues computer the features are'nt
there. Now, I never use Excel so I'm wondering if she's mistaken and
these features never existed in Excel 2000. Another question that
crossed my mind: By opening the sheet in Excel 2003, have we somehow
broken its Excel 2000 compatibility? Does Excel 2003 handle links in a
way that isn't backwards compatible with Excel 2000? Can these two
versions ever get along together? Can someone enlighten me?

Correct
They were introduced in Excel 2002.
