Changing Word import file's location

Post by Perrorist »

The source Word file has been relocated and I now need to point to the new location. A number of projects are affected. Will deleting the .flimp and re-importing from the new location do the trick? Or is there some way of doing that from within the project?

I tried deleting the .flimp file, but the project built just as before, oblivious to the missing folder. I then removed the imported file from Contents, Images, Master Pages, and the TOC, re-imported from the new location, and it worked. If there's a simpler process, I'd like to hear of it.

There is a simpler solution. In the Project->Imports folder, select each import file and change the source location of the document. The next time the document changes, it's imported from the new location.
