FW: Inter-file XREFs broken - SOLVED

[Alison Craig]

Thanks to a quick call from Rick Quatro, I've fixed most of the broken XREFs.

He suggested opening all files and simply updating the book and it worked for most of the XREFS. I still have a few to manually resolve, but that's much better than it was.

Subject: Inter-file XREFs broken

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255
Unstructured
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (brand new PITA machine)

When I received my translated book back from a new LSP (Simplified Chinese if the language matters) all of the inter-file XREFs were broken.

I've never had this happen before with an LSP - although the occasional XREF will be broken.

For whatever reason, the LSP had my FM9 files open in FM8. I know this is why all my relative path image links were broken, but could this also account for broken inter-file XREFs?

Additionally, is there something I can do to fix this without re-linking every XREF - which is very tedious? After posting on the list yesterday, I used the "save-as-MIF, search and replace, save back to FM" to fix 99% of the broken relative path image links without affecting the Chinese. So I'm kind of hoping someone has a similar suggestion for XREFs.

PS: I know the LSP should fix this - and we'll be talking about it - but I'm on a massive deadline so the logical answer isn't necessarily the fastest.
