No ... after dropping the picture into the frame, I opened the
reference picture window. But the path writable icon was blank, i.e.
nothing to reference.
The process is:
hold down ctrl+shift, drop picture into frame
window appears with reference and proxy buttons - (and important)
displaying the path to the file
you tick "reference", click OK and the picture is then loaded and
should become visible.
That's all useful information. I can see the benefits of doing it that
way.
If when you select reference from the picture menu the path icon in the
resulting window is blank I would think the picture was not referenced.
Clicking on the button to the right of the path will let you navigate
on disc to a graphic file, having "opened" it, you can then click on
the "Reference" button.

OK, here's an example path from the DDL ...
PICTURE_805={picture
{reference "F:\\1 FAT32\\My
Documents\\OPWdocs\\IGconference\\All_Final\\09_Dimitrijevic\\Pictures\\Fig01.tif"}
}
As far as I can see, this is correct. But OPW couldn't recogize the
picture at that location.
... and it's just dawned on me why!
I'm using the VMware emulator, which gives me two ways of accessing the
files on an external USB drive -- one direct (connecting the drive to
WinXP), the other indirect (via the Mac) -- and of course the paths are
different. So, some documents were created with the drive connected one
way, and some the other way. Bummer!
Sorry for wasting your time.
