I am having an enormous amount of trouble with
backgrounds. Everytime I insert a background (page,
table or cell), FP inserts the full path name C:/{folder}
{file}. I did not see it for the first few weeks because
FP and IE find it easily on my hard disk. But when I
published I found out that no one else in the world could
see it. I posted it to the newsgroup and an MVP looked
at the source code and pointed out the problem. He
suggested that the problem was that I had placed the BG
file (jpg) was in my Web folder and it should be in my
image folder (I have been using FP 2002 for 2 years and
never used the image folder and never had this sort of
problem.) Nonetheless, I moved the file to the image
folder and deleted all references to the original file
and replaced them with the file in its new location. But
FP continued to insert the full path and friends told me
that the problem continued. Posting again, it was
suggested that my FP was corrupted so I did a detect and
repair but that didn't work so I uninstalled and
reinstalled. Nope.
Now I notice that each time I browse and select the file
it is displayed properly in the appropriate properties
dialog box but if I reopen the window the full path name
is displayed in the field and find it to be inserted in
the HTML.
I have found a workaround by manually replacing it in the
HTML BUT THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION - its maddening!
Can anyone figure out why FP is doing this to me (not
actually taking it tha personally) and how to stop it.
