RE: Import by reference/copy into documents

Nancy,

You're sure to get a thousand replies...

The short answer is that files imported by reference live outside
of Frame. So when the interface changes, you can make a new screen 
shot and save it over the old one, and the image in Frame is 
changed, without your ever opening Frame.

If the image were copied in, you'd have to open Frame, delete the
old image, then copy and paste the new one.

Hi,

I've always thought you are supposed to copy imorted graphics into the 
document in Frame. I guess I thought you needed them, in some mysterious 
way, when you create a file to send out for printing.

Why is it preferable to import by reference. When should you copy into 
document, and when should you import by reference.

TIA
