Re: Framescript capabalities
Yes, you can do this with FrameScript. You would need to come up with a naming scheme for the new files you would create. With FrameScript, you can scan through all the documents in a book for tables and figures. When you find one, you create a new document, copy the table/figure to the new document, save the document, then insert a hypertext marker in place of the table/figure, using the name of the file.

I'm looking into Framescript and want to know if it has the capabilities I need. I have a Frame book consisting of individual files. Nothing earth shattering. The book is print ready and now I want to do the following: I want to strip out all the tables and figures and make them separate files. I then want to insert links into the frame files to "hyperlink" to these separate files. So in essence, I would have files consisting of just text, with links to any figures and tables rather than having the figures and tables embedded in the Frame files. Is this possible to do with Framescript?

That would work, but then what you'd have would be a whole bunch of little Frame files. For tables, there's no other option, since they are not referencable the way graphics are. You could, however, re-import the table files as insets instead of hyperlinking to them; I'm sure FrameScript can do that too, since the FDK can. For the figures, though, I wonder if the OP actually wants to have them referenced within their anchored frames, rather than copied into them. If so, that can't be done with the FDK; if you use Frame's native graphic export filters, you get a very poor rendition of the original, at screen (96dpi) resolution, which will not print well. However, Mif2Go can export the graphics as the original graphic files that were imported, except that the original name is lost (Frame doesn't keep it). These are at the full resolution of the originals, and can then be imported over the originals (replacing them in their frames) by reference. You don't have to buy Mif2Go to do this, the demo version does the job nicely: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm In the User's Guide, refer to par. 26.2.3.2, "Exporting embedded graphics before converting" and the two following paragraphs for the details. The graphics come out with names like "yourfile001.gif", and the sequence is *not* that of the images in Frame; it's probably the order in which they were originally imported. So you'll want to "preview" them before you import them back in. A handy way to do this is... with Word.Once you're sure you have the right one for the anchored frame before you, select the image (not the frame!) in Frame, and use File | Import to replace it. That way you don't have to resize, and any Frame additions (like callouts) remain in place. HTH! -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. http://www.omsys.com/
