Import by Reference Question/Bug ?

[Fred Ridder]

Before resorting to what Dov Isaacs calls "reinstallsheimer's disease", I'd try a quick "wash as MIF" operation on the offending file. It seems much more likely to me that something has become corrupt in the one document file that Rick is having problems with rather than FrameMaker itself having become corrupted.
