Hanna, you said "all was fine until you added a condition". If it turns out that an SP3 update happened then that's almost certainly the problem, but if it didn't ...

Was this condition applied to all the graphics? Was it a change (copy, delete, whatever) in the condition, or just a brand new condition?

One thing you might try is to save one of the problem chapters as MIF, then view the MIF through a text editor (or better yet, the wonderfully useful freebie MIFBrowse, here:

 <http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm>

Then search to find a problem graphic filename, and see what you can see as far as conditions applied to the anchoring frame's paragraph.

What I'm suggesting is if the system didn't get an SP3 upgrade, it might be possible to do some MIF-bopping to remove the problem condition.

Caveat: of course, be sure to have a solid backup before you mess with MIF.

[For future reference, it would help us help you if you specify your exact FM versions including the "pxxx" numbers as shown in FM's Help > About, just in case one of the many patches might have contained a fix.]
