I didn't say to delete all your picture paths. I said to delete the
ones you're not using, assuming that would be everything except the
Legacy/Pictures folder, since those are the ones you renamed correctly,
apparently. Then make a backup or several backups of that folder.

I've really done it now!~!! I deleted all the paths in Legacy/Pictures, but
I got most of them back from my Desktop folder. At least I don't have
duplicate pictures in my book! Some of the pictures appear to have been in
different folders. Now I have my work cut out!!! Next I will try to find
them and put them back in the right Legacy/Picture folder. Yikes~!!!

Nina, have you checked your multimedia paths under Customize/Locations?
Because that will tell you where your pictures are coming from. Once
you have that incredibly useful information you can do this:
Go to all those "extra" locations ( Desktop, C drive, R drive, Network
drive, etc) and find the pictures and if they're just backups, delete
them. Then use the other tool there (Test Multimedia Paths) to purge all
unlinked pictures (which they will now be i.e. unlinked.
If you can't find the pictures in all those other locations, just delete
the path to them in FilePath List you were just looking at.
Several emails back you said you renamed your pictures (at least one
batch of them) and put them into Legacy/Pictures. If that's the
connection you want then good, make backups of that folder.

There are multiple copies of the same picture. IE Sometimes the same
picture shows a different caption. These all seem to be in the Scrapbook

what to do next? I keep thinking it might be in the Custom/Locations,

Need some help . . In wanting to publish a book in the ?Publishing
Center, there were too many duplicates in 144 pictures.
I'm afraid I don't really understand your problem.
When you say "too many duplicates" do you mean that you had multiple
copies of the same photograph but with different names? Of do you mean
that some individual photographs were appearing more than once in your
book?
If the latter, were the duplicates in the same section of the book (ie,
same report) or were they in different sections?
Why did you think it necessary to delete all the pictures from the
Legacy\pictures folder?
If you can explain more precisely how you created the book and exactly
how the duplicate pictures presented, I'm sure we can find a solution
for you.
