which can happen
: if you move or rename the folder containing the pictures
: if you move the whole lot to a different filing system, e.g. from
ADFS to IDEFS or HostFS etc.
If the pictures are in the same directory as the document I *think*
OPro uses relative paths, which will continue to work. Otherwise it
can be a case of saving as DDL, then doing a search and replace in the
DDL.
For this reason I use referenced pictures while creating our monthly
magazine, but once it's done I choose "embed all pictures", and save
the archive copy with them embedded.
