Replacing Objects
As you are working with your Author-it library, you may discover duplicate objects. For example, I once worked on a library where all hyperlinks had been created by creating new objects every time instead of reusing the original. Another time, I had imported a large number of Frame .mif files, and all the graphics that were imported came in as individual objects, even though they were all specified by reference.
In both cases, I used the Replace function to replace one object with another. During the replace operation, all relationships for the old object were modified to use the new object.
- Open the object you don't want to use any more.
- Select Object > Replace on the main Author-it toolbar.
- In the dialog box that is displayed, navigate to the folder where the object
you want to use is stored, and select that object. - Click OK. A confirmation message is displayed.
- Click OK.
