Unresolved cross-references and missing graphics
FrameMaker 7.0p579 - Windows XP When I open certain docs I get a message that there are unresolved cross-references, however, when I do a search for unresolved cross-references it says None found. I have all conditions turned on...nothing is hidden. I have a similar problem on another doc. When opening it says there is a missing graphic. I tell it to skip that graphic and when I look through the document I can't find any gray boxes indicating a missing graphic. I have looked at the Reference pages and can't find anything. Can anyone tell me how to find these elusive missing pieces? Thanks!

RE: Unresolved cross-references and missing graphics
Julie, This is what I call phantom unresolved cross references, a phenomenon that I believe started with version 6. I've been able to get rid of these phantoms by opening the file that is reported as having one or more unresolved xrefs, saving the file as .mif, opening the .mif file, and saving it back as .fm (overwriting the old file). In some circumstances, which I've admittedly not delved into deeply, this happen regularly. I think that conditions have something to do with it. ~~ Linda G.
