Any value that FrameMaker displays in the "custom dpi" box is read from 
the header of the graphic file itself. If I take a capture with SnagIt and 
leave the "resolution" setting at 96 (the default) when saving the capture 
as a BMP file, the custom dpi value I see in FrameMaker is 96. If I set the 
"resolution" to 120 before saving the capture, the custom dpi value I 
see in FrameMaker is 120. In both cases the pixel dimensions of the 
capture are the same and the actual resolution is still the same nominal
96 dpi; the "resolution" in the file header is nothing more than a 
"suggested" value for anything using the image downstream, and 
FrameMaker displays that suggestion as the custom dpi value.

Did you try saving the file after importing one at 200?

Set custom dpi to import graphics

[Nancy Allison]

Hi, all.

I can't figure out how to get Frame to remember the custom dip at which 
I'm importing a whole bunch of graphics.

Sometimes, Frame does remember a new import dpi, but I have no idea why 
it remembers some and not others.

I'm importing .bmps into anchored frames, and every import box displays 
120 as the custom dpi, which I then have to change to 200. Is there a 
way to get Frame to remember the 200?

Thanks.

--Nancy
