I don't have a solution, but only a suggestion. When I find Frame not acting
right, which seems to happen more often with newer versions, I finally shut
all down, shut down the computer, go get a snack or a trip to the rest room,
and then come back and start over. It is amazing the issues Frame and
Windows 7 seem to somehow accumulate in memory which are not addressed
anywhere.

Another thing I have found is that Adobe seems to be completely in the dark
on how all the internal parts of Frame work, so as they create new versions,
they lose old dependable functions we have relied on for years. And
sometimes it is just that in their quest to update, they have had to rewrite
how those functions work, so they may still exist but in a slightly
different form.

Try doing your list again with various different options. Maybe what you
thought were imported graphics are now found as something else.

At this point, what do you have to lose?

Hi, all.

I have been using FrameMaker for donkeys' years and have never seen
this problem before.

I'm running FrameMaker 12 on a Windows 7 system.

When I select Special -- List of -- References and select Imported
Graphics, as I have done dozens of times in the past, FrameMaker
generates a list containing exactly one of the imported graphics in my
document. That one file is a pdf, for what it's worth. I thought that
perhaps that one file was creating a prpoblem, so I deleted it, saved
the file, and generated the list again. It came up completely empty.

I am not doing anything differently from how I have done this in
FrameMaker 10 dozen times in the past.

What is different this time? All my graphics were properly imported, by
me, same as always.

Thanks for all suggestions.
