RE: Numbered Callouts

[Peter Gold <peter -at- knowhowpro -dot- com>]

In FrameMaker, you can import the same graphic many times, without 
increasing file size, except for the pointer to the file. You can 
adjust each instance of the graphic in its anchored frame, to show only 
the portion that's required. You can apply drawing annotations - 
callouts, etc. - to each instance to identify only the appropriate 
items. If there's a change to the graphic, you can replace the original 
at the source, and the instances will display the same portion of the 
replacement graphic they displayed of the original. Of course, this is 
only helpful if the change in the graphic is minor - you can change the 
annotation of the affected portions.

In addition, if the instances display only a simplified detail, a 
caption can obviate the need for a callout.
