Steve, No need for a FrameMaker attribute. When moving data between FrameMaker and XML representations, the typical XML attribute does correspond to a FrameMaker attribute. Some XML attributes, however, correspond to a FrameMaker formatting property such as the number of columns in a table or the filename of an imported image. As to why you cannot export the graphics, it could be because you do not have an output filter that handles that format, because you don't have write permission in the directory where graphics would be written, or other causes. --Lynne Lynne A.
