It also doesn't address the issue of the import filter used to import the graphic. There is an import filter property that determines the image type. If you edit the mif file, you may have to edit this property as well as the filename. With FrameScript, the script will be operating on the binary FrameMaker files and can change the import filter property while changing the filename. If you are interested in a FrameScript solution, please contact me off-list. Thank you very much.

But that doesn't address the problem of how to expeditiously save whole directories (or drives) of binary FM files as MIF. Or how, after running them through the edit process, to save all the modified MIF files back to binary FM. A FrameScript script would let you automate all three stages of the process (including invoking the editor of your choice to do the global replace). Richard G.
