1) Close the Preface file. 
2) Temporarily change the path/name to the Doc A Art folder so that FM can't find it. 
3) Open the Preface file. The Missing File dialog appears, looking for the first image FM can't find. 
4) Navigate to the Doc B Art folder, select the correct image file. 
5) Make sure Update Document To Use New Path is selected and click Continue. 

FM will look in the Doc B Art folder for the other missing images and, assuming it finds them, update all the paths to point to the Doc B Art folder.
