Hello, All,Many thanks for your helpful suggestions. After a bit of experimenting with StrongED, it looks like the simplest way forward is to "superzap" the binary OvnPro documents - i.e. replace the "ADFS::HardDisc4.$." with an equal length string " <spaces> HD4:". OvationPro is perfectly happy with the leading spaces (hurrah for OvationPro!).
I should add that the documents are scattered over a multitude of folders and the pictures concerned are of the global type (e.g. logos that appear all over the documents) so cannot simply be referenced locally/relatively. I don't generally bother referencing pictures that only appear in one place in one document.
I think that a quick C program to search for Ovation documents and do the necessary editing is likely to be my approach. Thanks & regards John Grogan To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
