In the reference page MIF you'll see something like this: <Tag `Single Line> <PolyLine <Unique 1119222> <Pen 0> <PenWidth 0.5 pt> <Separation 5> <ObColor `company color 1'> <HeadCap Square> <TailCap Square> <NumPoints 2> <Point 40.1003 mm 2.14791 mm> <Point 165.10028 mm 2.14791 mm> > # end of PolyLine Look for yours in a file that is as you want it, and also in one that is not. Compare and see what is different; that's what you need to replace. The length, for example, is determined by the last two Point settings, each the x,y co-ords of the line endpoints. Thickness is PenWidth. You can do the mass replace in the MIF with many tools; we'd use FAR <http://helpware.net/FAR/>. You can save all files in books as MIF with one command using the free demo version of Mif2Go. If you name the MIF files with an .fm extension, you don't have to bother saving them back; Frame will do that automatically whenever you use one. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
