Re: List of OLE graphics

["Lester C. Smalley" <lsmalley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Esmond,

I don't know of a way to create a list of just OLE objects without 
resorting to the FDK, FrameScript, or "search and extract" from the MIF 
version of a file, but you can try to create a list of the imported 
graphics:

In a single file use command  	Special > List of > References
(click "yes" to tell it to create a stand-alone file) and then select 
"Imported Graphics" as the items to reference.

In a book, use the ADD menu to include a List of References file to the 
book, again selecting the Imported Graphics, then update the book to 
generate the list.

This will give you a listing with the filename and page number of the 
FrameMaker document where it appears. But in order to convert the Visio 
files to EPS, you still face the problems of cleaning the unwanted cruft 
out of the files before saving to EPS.
