How do I learn the full path of a referenced graphic
in Frame 6?
I have a document that has several graphics (104 of
them) that are imported by reference from a shortcut
on the original author's desktop to any of about 25
different network folders. The file name and the paths
are so long that in the object properties dialog box
the file name is listes as
<startofafoldername>...<last20orsocharacters>.jpg
When I try selecting the object and choosing File-
>Import->File, the text in the file name field is
exactly what I saw in the properties dialog, including
the elipsis!
Any advice?
Thanks,
Kevin Cheek
