How to remove invisible imported graphic?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Karen,

As you have FrameMaker 11 you can also just open the Insets Pod
and then click on the image file and then click the dustbin icon to delete it.
You do not need to make the detour via a generated list of references.

Best regards

Winfried

How to remove invisible imported graphic?

[Karen Robbins]

Hi Framers,

My FM11 file contains a graphic imported by reference that I want to remove
but cannot see. It's a big photo--I have no idea why it's suddenly
invisible. In fact, I thought it was already deleted.

By saving the .fm file as .mif and opening in a text editor, I can see the
reference to the graphic file. Of course I can delete that reference in the
.mif file and re-save to .fm.

If I substitute the reconstituted file for the original, will I have to
remake my book and/or generated files (TOC and Index)? If so, how can I
remove the unwanted graphic reference without making more work than
necessary?

Thanks,
Karen

How to remove invisible imported graphic?

Hi Framers,

My FM11 file contains a graphic imported by reference that I want to remove
but cannot see. It's a big photo--I have no idea why it's suddenly
"invisible". In fact, I thought it was already deleted.

By saving the .fm file as .mif and opening in a text editor, I can see the
reference to the graphic file. Of course I can delete that reference in the
.mif file and re-save to .fm.

If I substitute the reconstituted file for the original, will I have to
remake my book and/or generated files (TOC and Index)? If so, how can I

Haven't tested this, but I think if you generate a List of References 
for imported graphics, you should be able to click the hyperlink, which 
should cause the graphic to be selected -- then just hit delete.

Alternatively, if you know what page it's on, go to that page, click 
outside the text frame, and try Esc o n (= Select Object, Next) until 
you see the selection handles; again, just hit delete.

Hope one of these helps,
