Hi, John...
You should be able to just reference your graphics by file name,
without any path information, like:
<imagedata fileref="ABSio.wmf"/">
Your graphics path setting will provide the list of directories to
search for this file. So, on your editor machines, you might have:
set graphicspath="G:\\TM 9-2355-319-10\\Graphics\\CHAPTER 3"
while on the PE server, you'd have:
set graphicspath="E:\\IETM-Backups\\IETM-Docs\\MRAP Full TM\\TM
9-2355-319-10\\Graphics\\CHAPTER 3"
These lines could go in a few different places, such as init.acl, your
doctype.acl, etc., based on whether the set of graphic paths are
specific to certain subsets of publications.
