Hi Verner

Finding copied graphics in a FrameMaker file seems like an ideal job for a
Framescript. Rick Quatro has recently developed a Framescript which can find
graphics copied into document and (re)import them by reference.

Another option is to search in the MIF files. You could do this as follows:

   1. Save your FM file(s) as MIF.
   2. Open the MIF in a plain text editor.
   3. Search for <ImportObFile `2.0 internal inset'>, meaning that this is a
   graphic "copied into document".


If you have to do this for multiple files (e.g. complete FM books), I can
recommend MIF2Go to save all files in your book as MIF and EditPadPro or
Notepad++ to edit multiple text files simultaneously.

Cheers
