Nancy, try FileBox eXtender (freeware, http://www.hyperionics.com/files/index.asp). It allows you to auto-switch to the "Details" view of the file boxes and lets you specify an order. But this is not the main purpose of this Windows Explorer add-on - it simplifies the navigation through the folders; besides that it has some other useful features. I won't do without it!
I hope this helps. Gunther On 25 Nov 2008 at 10:20, Nancy Allison wrote: > > Hi, everyone. > > I am working on a large manual with many graphics that are imported by > reference.
