Clint: That worked for Chapter 1 where all two of the images are in the same folder. But all the other chapters and appendices - which are graphics-rich - have the images stored in multiple folders below "Graphics (Linked)" so this doesn't work for them.

When you receive the "Can't find the Graphic" dialog, just navigate to the new graphic directory and click on the correct file. Make sure that "update to New Path" is checked, then hit OK. FM should automatically find all of the remaining graphics in the new directory. Then just "Save ALL".

As the LSP is in Europe I am hoping there is a simple batch method to change the relative path for my all graphics rather than have to re-link by hand or wait for a set of corrected files. The path is only out by one level. The FM files sit directly above my "Graphics (Linked)" directory (which is further categorized by Chapters, Appendices, etc.). However, there is now another directory above "Graphics (Linked)" entitled "FM" ...\FM\Graphics (Linked)... instead of ...\Graphics (Linked)\... Is there a simple way I can get rid of the "FM" in the relative path (I don't have FrameScript) or am I screwed and need to wait for updated files from my LSP? Alison FYI: This isn't a mistake the LSP normally makes. I have no idea what they were playing at but I'll be having words with them!
