Thanks, Stuart, for your suggestions, but neither creating named destinations nor having all book files open made a difference. I admit I didn't spend much time experimenting with Distiller settings, but the first thing I tried didn't produce working links. And by that time one of my colleagues

Gilian, One way would involve saving your powerpoint as html and then converting the html to text. There is a freeware utility called htmlastext (www.nirsoft.net/utils/htmlastext.html) that I have used to strip the html code, resulting in a text file. The saveas html should create a separate

I just opened my first documents from FM 7.2 in FM 9 and all my Dixieland fonts in bulleted lists are mixed up. Strangely, the Geographic Symbols seem to work fine in bulleted lists. There has to be a simpler solution to this than outlined below? Dixieland symbols are also mixed up in plain text,

Thanks for the replies. However, I have many overriders in my paragraphs, so this will include a lot of manual work in a 460 page book. There must be some explanation for the switch in interpretation of some picture fonts when moving to FM9. When I choose a Dixieland symbol from scratch for a

I agree with David about save-as-html – that’s the route I’ve taken many times in similar situations, and it has proven a pretty efficient way to extract the graphics into something FM can use as a referenced graphic. However, I’d like to add a bit about the graphics… Due to the way that
