I have a user guide. All images (screenshots) are in a specific folder.
Some of those images will be updated.

Is there a way to list which images filenames are in which files in a book

I need some immediate help. FrameMaker 8 preferred. 9 is ok but you will have
to save back. User manual updates based on wireframes.
Please reply if you are immediately available with your rate and UM samples.

A nice little extra/quirk when setting up bookmarks is that they can be set
both a that the book level and at the document level. If you check the TOC,
you should see that you have requested these three paragraphs to be
