Not hard at all. First, I have a two or three letter prefix for each book (HRP, Pub, DM, CPF, etc.). That prefix is included in the name of every file and every graphic. All my files go in one one directory and all my graphics go in a subdirectory off that file directory. The vast majority of my screen shots are of web pages or parts of web pages since I'm documenting a large HR portal. I name my graphics with three elements; the project name, then the header title of the screen, then the state of the screen. Use an underscore between elements, never use spaces anywhere in the file name. For instance, I have a project with the code HRP, then a GUI page with the title "Login Pages", one showing a Login code window prior to putting in the code and after the code is entered. Therefore, my images have the following names: HRP_LoginPages_BeforeLoginCode.gif HRP_LoginPages_AfterLoginCode.gif This my not work well for you, it does for me. Different projects may require that I vary the naming conventions, but the methodology is usualy the same.
