Hi all I searched the .mif file and found some copied graphics. However, it was difficult to loacate them. They all seemed to be in a text inset.

finding copied graphics
Hi Verner Finding copied graphics in a FrameMaker file seems like an ideal job for a Framescript. Rick Quatro has recently developed a Framescript which can find graphics copied into document and (re)import them by reference. Another option is to search in the MIF files. You could do this as follows: 1. Save your FM file(s) as MIF. 2. Open the MIF in a plain text editor. 3. Search for , meaning that this is a graphic "copied into document". If you have to do this for multiple files (e.g. complete FM books), I can recommend MIF2Go to save all files in your book as MIF and EditPadPro or Notepad++ to edit multiple text files simultaneously.

The fastest way is to use the demo version of Mif2Go, and tell it to export all embedded graphics in the book, per User's Guide par. 2.5.3, "Replacing embedded graphics with referenced graphics", just the first three steps. If you don't get any graphics exported, then there were no embedded graphics. If you do, you have the added benefit of having a lossless copy of the original graphic that you can easily re-import by reference without any rescaling (the last three steps). The whole process is very fast, under a minute for a large book. And you do *not* need to purchase Mif2Go, use the demo version: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm HTH! -- Jeremy H.

Instead of finding the copied graphics, you "unfound" all the rest -- a very simple, elegant, "outside the box" solution. Thanks for sharing that! Richard Richard G.

finding copied graphics
I don't know of an automated way, but if you use a caption, anchor, or figure title tag with each graphic, you should be able to generate a list of those type of tabs. Then generate a list of imported graphics and compare the page entries. Because these types of lists can include automatically generated tab stops, it's relatively easy to convert these types of lists into either a FM table format or a spreadsheet and then merge them together so entries should correspond across a row.

Instead of finding the copied graphics, you "unfound" all the rest -- a very simple, elegant, "outside the box" solution. Thanks for sharing that! Richard Richard G.

RE: finding copied graphics, another way of doing it
Hi all I searched the .mif file and found some copied graphics. However, it was difficult to loacate them. They all seemed to be in a text inset. Then I got the idea of separating the file from its linked graphics. I simply renamed the graphics folder and reopened the file. Now only the graphics that were copied into the file were displayed.

Re: finding copied graphics
Hi Verner Finding copied graphics in a FrameMaker file seems like an ideal job for a Framescript. Rick Quatro has recently developed a Framescript which can find graphics copied into document and (re)import them by reference. Another option is to search in the MIF files. You could do this as follows: 1. Save your FM file(s) as MIF. 2. Open the MIF in a plain text editor. 3. Search for , meaning that this is a graphic "copied into document". If you have to do this for multiple files (e.g. complete FM books), I can recommend MIF2Go to save all files in your book as MIF and EditPadPro or Notepad++ to edit multiple text files simultaneously.

Re: finding copied graphics
I don't know of an automated way, but if you use a caption, anchor, or figure title tag with each graphic, you should be able to generate a list of those type of tabs. Then generate a list of imported graphics and compare the page entries. Because these types of lists can include automatically generated tab stops, it's relatively easy to convert these types of lists into either a FM table format or a spreadsheet and then merge them together so entries should correspond across a row.

finding copied graphics
Hi Normally I insert all graphics into a documemt by reference. Before I send the manual for translation I would like to verify that I have not copied any graphics into the file. Do you have a way to find copied graphics in a framemaker file?
