Hi John, You can use FrameMaker's built-in Find/Change feature to change the URLs in the text. For URLs in markers, you will need to use scripting. Keep in mind that FrameMaker versions 10 and higher include ExtendScript built in. If you are interested in pursuing a scripting solution, please let

1. Open FrameMaker document. 2. Save the document as MIF (File > Save As). 3. Close the FrameMaker document. 4. Choose File > Open and navigate to the .MIF file you saved in step 2. 5. Press and hold the shift key when you click the Open button. You should see the Reading Text File dialog box.
