Re: Importing Books into CMS - Graphic Linking Issue
The only way to do this effectively is to save all the files as MIF, then run a grep program to search and replace the characters that get stripped out with an acceptable character or to remove it. If your grep program is capable you can do an internal search of the MIF files (they are text) or run a program Like Textpad or Oxygen that can search and replace through a batch of files. You'd have to open all of the MIF files and save them back as FM binary, of course, though that could be scripted through FrameScript.
