I am using a conversion table to add structure to an unstructured Frame

My conversion rule has G: in the first column and GRAPHIC in the second
column.
In the structured result I get what I guess is a graphic element
(GRAPHIC), but there is no information about the source file. I have
looked in the Structure Application Developer's Guide, but didn't find
this particular topic addressed. Did I miss something? Does anyone have
any idea about what to do to get the source path to get carried over into
the structured document?
Paul,
Structuring a document does not change the anchored frames. If an
anchored frame in the original unstructured document contains a graphic
that was imported by reference, the structured document will have the same
graphic. You can confirm the file used by clicking on the image and using
Graphics > Object Properties (or selecting Object Properties from the
context menu that appears when you right-click). At the bottom of the
Object Properties dialog box, FrameMaker displays the name of the reference
file. If no filename is listed, the image was imported by copy instead of
reference. If you save the structured document to a different directory
than the one containing the original file, the association will still be to
the graphic file in the original directory.
If you eventually save the structured document, possibly after editing,
to XML, depending on the read/write rules in your application, FrameMaker
will set an attribute of your GRAPHIC element either to the path of the
original graphic or to a new exported copy.
