RE: finding copied graphics, another way of doing it
Hi all I searched the .mif file and found some copied graphics. However, it was difficult to loacate them. They all seemed to be in a text inset. Then I got the idea of separating the file from its linked graphics. I simply renamed the graphics folder and reopened the file. Now only the graphics that were copied into the file were displayed.
