Graphics scale resetting to 100% when I open file

I import by reference because the user interface on our software tends to
change on a regular basis. It's much easier for me to replace the graphic
itself and let Framemaker update the three or four places in which I use the
same graphic. But, as was just mentioned in another thread, your mileage may
vary.

> Structured FrameMaker goes a long way towards consistency, but it can't
> enforce everything. I'll start with the good news:

> The reason my SMEs prefer working in structured FM is because they don't
> have to apply formatting so much as they have to call a thing what it
> is. I mean that they can call something a list item, and not worry about
> whether it's the first list item (so it needs space before it and has a
> different para style), or the last list item (so it needs space after
> it), or one in the middle. Yes, they still have to choose between an
> ordered list (uses numbers), or an unordered list (uses bullets), but if
> they took one list item from one kind of list and put it in the other,
> the formatting would automatically change for them.
>
> The structure also (helps to) enforce certain rules. For example, if you
> always want a caption under your diagrams, you can specify that in your
> structure. Then the caption element automatically shows up at the top of
> the list with a big bold checkmark to remind them to put it there, and
> there's a red box in the structure view showing that something is
> missing. They can ignore all this and still save the file, but at least
> it's easy to find the missing thing.
>
> Oh, that's another good thing. Instead of seeing a long list of
> character and paragraph styles, you'll only see the ones that are valid
> in the place where your cursor is in the structure. It cuts down on
> scrolling and having too many choices.
>
> Finally, just the process of implementing structure will force you to
> standardize existing documents and how you write. It's a great (if
> somewhat time-consuming) exercise.
>
> I gave my SMEs a one-hour tutorial on using structured FM, about 2 pages
> of notes, a long document explaining all the elements and what they mean
> (reference material; I doubt most of them read it), and away they went.
> Most of them had never used FM before at all (which might have been a

> the last thing you want is a frustrated user. It's been very successful
> except with a few of them who don't use structured FM often enough to
> remember the tutorial, and don't have time to learn it all over again.
> Some people just won't give up Word. :-(
>
> NOTE: The SMEs are just using the template and writing content (with
> graphics and tables). They are not defining elements nor styles nor
> anything like that. Boy, do I wish we had a FrameMaker-Lite that would
> just let authors do their thing for less money! But I digress.
>
> Now the bad news:
>
> - Structured FrameMaker cannot enforce the use of variables. Users can
> still choose to type text instead of using a variable, or they can
> choose the wrong one.
>
> - Cross-references that are copied from one document to another still
> have to be redirected.
>
> - You will have to give people a choice of elements to use at any given
> spot, and they can still choose inappropriately. Hopefully, it will be
> obvious to them and they won't do it on purpose. :-)

> I have an idea for a tutorial but I'm not sure that it is technical

> through the instructions. The user would click step 1 (or perhaps a
> 'Begin' link) to begin the tutorial and the tutorial would play all the
> way through to the end if the user doesn't interrupt it. If the user
> decides to interrupt it, for example, to replay step 4, the user would
> click Step 4 in the LHS, the flash file would navigate to some bookmark,
> begin playing step 4, and continue playing to the end unless the user
> again chooses to interrupt it. Icing on the cake would be that each step
> in the LHS would be highlighted or marked in some way when it is being
> shown in the Flash file.

> I know some of this is typical Flash behavior-click a link to launch a

> they start a flash file at a location besides the beginning? Can a flash
