"...export a list of User Variables in a FrameMaker Book. The list will also show the status that whether the user variables is used or not. After the list has been generated, you can modify the definition of the user variables in the table and the table can be imported back to the book. This will help modifying and deleting user variables at the book level."

Does the extendscript for creating a list of referenced graphics work only with FrameMaker 11? I have FM10 and cannot get the zipped files to open in the FM10 statup folder. This list is exactly what I'm looking for!

[Arnis_Gubins]

AFAIK, these scripts were all written for FM10.

If you're having problems unzipping the file, thenperhaps the file may have been corrupted (or is incomplete) during the download. I believe that 7-zip is used to create the zips, so perhaps some compression options aren't understood by your extraction tool? Do you have permissions to allow the extraction to the FM10 folders?

Thanks for your reply. I was using 7-zip at the time. In any event, I found a different solution that worked fine.
