Agent Ransack is a free utility for searching the Windows file system.
It allows you to search for text inside files, it works on Frame files,
and has boolean searches. There is a paid version that's even more
powerful, but I never tried it.

HI All,
I'm trying to link figures to my FM file.
Originally, I had embedded the Visios, but this made the file about 30MB or
larger.
I've finally figured out how to link to different sheets of a single Visio
file, but still, there is one Visio causing the file to still be 10MB - whereas

Hi Orly,
As a workaround, you might try saving the problematic Visio file in another
vector format (wmf, emf, eps, pdf, dxf, etc.). Try importing that by
reference and see if the problem clears up.

Alison,
I ran into this very problem back a while ago. Put your tables in a separate
chapter/appendix file and rotate the table.
You can find the instructions if you search the help for Rotating cells and
tables.

You can put a table into an anchored frame and then rotate it. See the FM9 user
guide, p. 200.
OT: I see you're using patch 237. Patch 250 is available (just as an FYI).

You can create landscape pages in a portrait Style book. I am including a

the master page or even better us a tag that calls the master page when you
are doing landscaped pages.
Alison,
I'm FM9.0p250 with Acrobat 9.3.1 Pro Extended, but I've done this as far
back as FM6 with older versions of Acrobat.
From your existing right (odd page) and left (even page) master pages,
create new master pages. Call them something like LeftRotate and
RightRotate. Then, rotate the

sure you change the page size prior to generating the PDF, so that the
resulting PDF only contains the graphic you want to import.
