RE: Numbers appended to file name
No, no OLE graphics here. Nearly all screen shots are imported by reference, with the odd screen shot implanted in the file. I have not noticed any gray boxes. /\/\ Murray Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:51:25 -0400 From: Gagne, Bernard (Bolton) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Numbers appended to file name To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Murray, FrameMaker is adding the funky alphanumeric extension to your Frame file because it has changed substantially from the original. I suspect some of your graphics are not being saved. I have seen that error a lot lately, especially since our IT dept installed XP SP3 on our machines. Do you use OLE for any of your graphics in your manuals? If so you may be dismayed to find they have likely all been blown away. Check the new files for gray boxes where graphics should be. I found that the first time I opened a document with OLE images, the images appeared fine when I first opened the file but if I tried to save the file, I got the graphics have not been saved error message and the alphanumeric extension on the file. The only solution to the problem was to eliminate all OLE graphics and replace them with images imported by reference. This bug was introduced with XP SP3 and there are no fixes that I know of (and certainly none planned for Frame 6). Best of luck. Berny Gagne Lead Writer Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd.

RE: Numbers appended to file name
By implanted do you mean cut and pasted or drag and dropped? I had one writer who loved to do both with screen shots. His documents are the ones I'm fixing now. What about graphics on your master pages, such as logos and the likes? I had some there too.
