I'm fairly new to FM 8 (unstructured).

I'm using Windows XP, Pro, SP2. My files were on the company network, but have been moved to my computers hard drive. I am turning Word files into FM books. I've been copying the text, then Paste Special/Unicode text into FM. I also have graphics and tables I need to ensure get into the FM file.

From what I've been able to gather when dealing with graphics, it's best to have one file from which you reference all your graphics, instead of pasting them in or copying/paste from another program. This would be all well and good except many of the graphics I'm using have little text boxes and arrows attached to them that are not part of the original graphic.

My problem is I just don't seem to be able to create these boxes, framed, with arrows in FM where I want them to be. The spreadsheets are a whole other problem.

Please help.
