This is how you do it: Outside of FM, copy the "Book A" folder and paste it where you want. Also, create the Graphics folder and file structure (i.e. "... Graphics Catalog B\Graphics ...") Before you open Book B in FM, temporarily rename the graphics folder that the FM files in Book A uses, e.g. "Graphics Catalog Z". Now, when you open the files in Book B, FM won't be able to find the old graphics since the folder name has changed. For each file, FM will open the "Missing graphics" dialog, where you need to browse to the new graphics folder, e.g. "Graphics Catalog B\Graphics". Select the correct file that FM asks for, and tick the option to use this folder for all remaining graphics. If all the image file names are identical, you will only need to do this once per FM file. If you really need the image file names to differ like you said: > ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png > ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png then you need to select the correct file name for *each* graphics that FM cannot find. This is a good reason to keep the file names identical, even though the folder name has changed. When all the files have opened, rename the original graphics folder back to "Graphics Catalog A". -- /Thomas Michanek
