Hello,

First off, I have a FrameMaker 8 (Unstructured) book that links ALL of its graphics, to a separate graphics folder on my network drive.

With that said, I am hoping to do the following:

1. Create a mirror copy of "Book A" and place that copy in another folder, (at the same level) on my network drive.

2. Open up the new book file (e.g. Book B).

3. Run a Find/Change to replace:

..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png

..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png

The end result is that I could globally map out all the "Referenced Files" to the new folder path structure. This will allow me to save from having to manually re-import each of the 1000 graphics - into my book files.

Finally, I am hoping to do this with the built in capabilities of FrameMaker 8 first. If that is not possible, then I will consider other possibilities.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards,

Jim
