'Display Heading Text' in Book window displays first line of the text frame

2009-05-14 Thread Avraham Makeler
Hi all, I finally got around to investigating something weird I have been seeing from my day #1 on a load of FM docs I have inherited. The Book window can display the chapter entries in one of two different views: 'Display heading text' or 'Display filenames'. In the 'Display heading text' view

Is there a way to convert all embedded pictures to be references?

2009-05-14 Thread Avraham Makeler
Hi all, I have some chapters that have a lot of embedded pictures. I still have the picture sources (e.g., PNG, JPG) in a particular directory. Is there a way, in one fell swoop, to convert all the pictures from being embedded to being references? Doesn't seem there is a way, since I notice that
