Thanks to everyone who replied. I did the "save as MIF", "find and replace", then saved back to FM and the problems have cleared up.
I was going to wait for a "fresh morning brain" but after I did a test (on a copy of the file) and everything went well, I just went ahead and got it over with. Alison ________________________________ From: Alison Craig Sent: March 31, 2011 2:15 PM To: 'framers@lists.frameusers.com' Subject: Relative Path for Images Changed to Absolute FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (brand new machine) After several problems, I've finally received a set of newly translated Simplified Chinese files back from the (new to me) LSP. Due to budgetary consideration, I always perform final DTP on the book before I publish to PDF. My problem is that every single image (all imported by reference) has had the relative path changed to an absolute path and I have to re-link every one of them when I open each file (some files have hundreds of images as I use icons in instructions to match the proprietary console on our ultrasound machines). In a perfect world I would return this to the LSP and have them fix it, but these manuals are already behind schedule. I have searched the last 2 years of list posting and cannot find the specific answer I am looking for. Is there someplace I can change the absolute path back to the relative path? Even if I have to make the change once for every file in the book that would still only be 5 minutes work instead of hours and hours of work. FYI: I will be working with the LSP to ensure this problem doesn't happen again.
