Changed names of files in a book. How to recover X-references?
I have a deep dark and most embarrassing secret. I changed the names of the first three files in a book while converting from FrameMaker 6.0 to unstructured 7.2. So as not to affect legacy files, I transferred them to another hard drive and changed names of the files and the book. As I updated the files for the new release, I changed variable names for the product, deleted two old variable names for components that are no longer used and deleted about 10 pages, which contained cross-references. The cross-references still refer to old file names because they are behaving as if the old book exists. Every time I add new information, and save a file, I get foul messages about cross-references being broken. Can I salvage my effort by saving the book under the old name and the files under the old name? When I attempted to save the files under the old names, I got the message that replacing it will break cross-references. What if I copy the content for the first two chapters that are changed drastically and cut and paste it in old book files (will still have broken cross-references which I will have to fix)? Right now, as I open and change a new file, cross-references are broken? How can I avoid the repetition of the broken references for the rest of the files?

If I were you, I'd restore my backup and change the file names the correct way, by right-clicking on the chapter file in book environment and selecting Rename Art On 5/1/06, Nandini Garud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a deep dark and most embarrassing secret.
