Adobe Framemaker/Framemaker 9 LOR

Question
Hi Wayne,
I'm trying to create LORs for images in various files. The results are incomplete: in one file, all but one image will be on the LOR; in another, only one of a dozen will be on the LOR. all image files have the same suffix, and I am using the "Imported Graphics" reference as the include in the set-up list dialog. I seem to recall that earlier versions of Frame had trouble keeping file paths straight if files were, for example, moved to a thumb drive for transport between computers. Could that be what is happening here? Because of the inconsistent results, I don't really know where to start troubleshooting first--and I don't have time to relink every single image throughout the series of files (only to have to re-link them again when I have to move the files next time). Thanks for any assistance.

Answer
Karen - I am sorry - but I cannot duplicate your problem as I do not have Frame 9.
Does LOR - mean "List of References?"

If you want you can email 1 file and I will take a look at it.
If you do send a file make sure it is in Frame 7 format.

Send me the following files.
Your computer generated LOR file and 1 file that is giving you the problem.

Be sure to put Frame in the subject area.

Expertise

Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).
