Hi Meg,
There are two ways that this can happen:
1) You import images from another drive or network volume; this is unlikely in
your case.
2) You Save As the FrameMaker document from one drive or volume to another.
This will create absolute paths to the graphics. This may be what happened to
you.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Subject: hard coded path names for imported graphics and x-refs
Hi all,
We're using Frame 10 and doing unstructured books.
We have source files out on a network drive, but we do often copy the files to
our local machines so that we can work remotely and offline on them.
So now I have a book out on the network drive that somehow is referencing
images on c:\dic\mybook\userguide\images\button.jpg instead of
\images\button.jpg. A similar thing has happened to some of the x-refs in 3 of
the chapters. We are getting specific references instead of relative
references.
Does anyone have any suggestions why this behavior is happening? or how to fix
it without having to open each chapter file and repoint the graphic directory?
I think I'm most conserned about understanding why it is happening, so that I
can tell our team how to avoid this problem.
thanks,
meg
