I haven’t used them yet, but there are tools for locating and relinking images and even consolidating to one location. Check the help files and previous messages from this maillist for further details, or perhaps someone else can repeat them.

Looks like I have to relink my images all over again. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Everything will be transferred with it. Give your v8 file a different name, or put it in a different folder, so you know which is which and don't confuse them in future. I renamed the folder my v7 files were in to "Legacy Data v7 and earlier" (there are older files there that have never been converted to v7), and the new one "Legacy Data v8". Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Roxanne said the following on 1/12/2013 6:25 p.m.: > Dear Group, > It's been a long time since I went from an older version to 7, and now > from 7 to 8.
