This will work but you also have to realize that the size and resolution of
the new picture may be different from the previous one.

Hi Dan -- I recently had to do something similar and the Frame Forum got 
me the solution. I think it will work for you.

   1. Back up the file in which you want to change the graphic reference
  -- in case you mess it up with this solution.
   2. Save the Frame file  as a .mif file.
   3. Open the .mif file in Notepad or some other text editor.
   4. Find and replace all instances of the graphic's file name with the
  new name.
   5. Save the text file.
   6. Put your new graphic in the same referenced location as the old one.
   7. Open the modified .mif in Frame.
   8. Check to see if the replacement worked.
   9. Save the .mif back to its original .fm file name.

Good luck,
Tony

 Am using FM9/Win 7 64-bit.

 I can do what I want to do in InDesign, QuarkXpress, and PageMaker, but
for some reason this functionality appears to be absent in FrameMaker, which
is utterly dain bramaged.

 I have a placed image in multiple places in a FrameMaker document. The
image is placed by reference, not embedded. I now want to link to a
different graphic (annual updates).

 Re-placing the image a zillion times is not an option, as the sizing and
position is already set. I just want to change what FrameMaker is linking
to.

 For the life of me, I cannot find where or even if, I can do this.

 The inelegant solution would be to simply move or rename the
currently-linked-to file on the hard drive, and rename the new graphic to
the same name as the old one. I do not like that option at all, as there are
some instances in other documents that I still wish to link to the old image
file.

 Is FrameMaker's link handling really this clumsy and archaic? In the other
applications I refer to above, I would either go to a links palette and
change the destination or right-click on an image and relink it. In
FrameMaker, the Object Properties dialog appears to only report the
location of the referenced file, not allow you to change it.

 What gives?

Re: Changing image file linked to --- framers Digest, Vol 57, Issue 13

2010-07-16 Thread rinch
This works great. I've done it for my ever changing world of software 
screen shots with great success. But, you have to make sure the new 
graphic is the same size and resolution as the old graphic. That is, if 
the old graphic was 3x5 inches at 300 dpi, then the new graphic has to be 
3x5 at 300 dpi. Otherwise, you'll have to tweak every graphic in 
FrameMaker, and that's exactly what you are trying to avoid.

Re: Changing image file linked to?

In framers Digest, Vol 57, Issue 13, Dan Harding asked how to change multiple 
instances of a graphic by changing the graphic name. He wants the current 
graphic to remain available with its current name.

Dan, try this:
1. Save the file(s) as MIF.
2. Use a text editor (NotePad, for example) to replace the old file name with 
the new one.
3. In FrameMaker, open the MIF file and save it as a FrameMaker file.

Sorry if this is redundant. There seems to be something wrong with the software 
that compiles and sends out digests. Dan's post is time-stamped Wed, 14 Jul

multiple same page numbers in index

2010-07-16 Thread Phoenix Hummel
I should specify that my page numbers are hyperlinked. It doesn't appear to 
occur when they aren't.

In FM 9: The same page number is appearing multiple times for a single marker 
in my indexes. I've checked the marker text for each multiple page number and 
it is exactly the same. How do I get multiple same page numbers to collapse 
into one page number when the same marker appears on the same page?

Unable to edit file

2010-07-16 Thread Kimberly Williams

Hello:


I did something to one of the files in my book and I don't know how to fix it. 
I am using v8.0p77 on Windows XP. 


I've been having issues with Frame slowing way down if I try to access the Web 
while I have my book files open. Some times FM just bombs out and, after 
emptying caches, I have to start over and re-open the autosave/recovery files.



I'm thinking that I might have opened the file as read-only as I was getting 
things set up after a crash. I must accidentally saved it that way because I 
cannot do anything  to this particular file now. I was hoping that I could just 
save it again but I found I couldn't even do that. I never saved it as a .MIF 
file so I can't try that avenue either.


Is there a way to make this file usable so that I can then save it as a .FM 
file or must I start from scratch and re-create it?


As always, thanks!
