How to remove invisible imported graphic?
Hi Framers, My FM11 file contains a graphic imported by reference that I want to remove but cannot see. It's a big photo--I have no idea why it's suddenly "invisible". In fact, I thought it was already deleted. By saving the .fm file as .mif and opening in a text editor, I can see the reference to the graphic file. Of course I can delete that reference in the .mif file and re-save to .fm. If I substitute the reconstituted file for the original, will I have to remake my book and/or generated files (TOC and Index)? If so, how can I remove the unwanted graphic reference without making more work than necessary? Thanks, Karen ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

How to remove invisible imported graphic?
Hi Framers, My FM11 file contains a graphic imported by reference that I want to remove but cannot see. It's a big photo--I have no idea why it's suddenly "invisible". In fact, I thought it was already deleted. By saving the .fm file as .mif and opening in a text editor, I can see the reference to the graphic file. Of course I can delete that reference in the .mif file and re-save to .fm. If I substitute the reconstituted file for the original, will I have to remake my book and/or generated files (TOC and Index)? If so, how can I remove the unwanted graphic reference without making more work than necessary? Thanks, Karen -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know whether it's some Microshaft default thing, and/or Yahoo's infuriatingly massive padding of mail headers, and/or laziness, but I see so much junk these days (although not here much).

I guess those using HTML mail don't see it all, but I do in steam-driven but totally lovely Eudora. I have seen e-mails of 15-20k (or even more, and sometimes *much* more) containing only a single relevant line of message. My default sig below was to try to make people aware of this issue, but it has so far failed dismally. All this cr*p has to be stored somewhere, which takes disk space, which takes resources and energy, which is so far mostly generated from polluting sources.

OT: In memory of Bruce Foster
Hello Framers, Thank you to those who supported my son Jason and I in our efforts to raise money for cancer research. We completed the 104 mile route of the Ride for Roswell this past Saturday. I rode in memory of Bruce Foster and Jason rode in memory of his grandfather, Richard Quatro. While the ride was a challenge, it was a great experience to participate with nearly 8,000 riders to raise over $1,000,000 for a world-class cancer research and treatment center.

Importing an xml document into structured Frame (version 8)
Sam, the thing is that a bizarre Frame document is opened on the receiving end--that can't be coming from Windows, can it?
