Re: ALT tag document report?

["Rick Quatro" <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Russ,

You can use FrameScript to get the Object Attributes of anchored frames. You
could use a script to get all of them in a document or book and write some
kind of a report. You should first determine what you want your report to
include and what it should look like. Then I can tell you what it would take
to write a script to collect the information. Thanks.
