Updating and fixing broken links upon opening a document
If you try to open a document with a broken link to a graphic, you'll be prompted to locate the link.
To locate a missing link:
1 |
Choose File > Open. |
2 |
Navigate to locate the file to open. Click Open. |
3 |
In the Locate File dialog box, navigate to locate the missing file. Click Open. |
The document is updated with the new graphic. |

Note: Select Search the Current Folder for Missing Links to have FreeHand look in this folder if any other broken links are encountered while the file is being opened. Click Ignore or Ignore All to prevent the graphics from being relinked. |
