Say what?!?!?!?

To put it INTO 'context' for you, the images were jpgs from digital  
photography. I was conducting an inventory of a recently deceased  
friend's personal effects and estate; jewelry, fine art, crystal,  
fine china, silverware, electronics, fur coats, etc., etc., etc.

As I said, above, but you think is without context, I tried numerous  
techniques and none worked, save for what I finally described.

I'd been working with FMP and AS since '92 for a Baby Bell company. I  
managed to automate a theretofore manual system for generating  
graphics used in and managing the production of the vast majority of  
telephone directory in the western third of the United States, less  
California and Nevada, which was PacBell turf.

I'm not totally ignorant of FMP, it's capabilities and limitation;  
which are legion. You can claim it could do it, but I couldn't find a  
way. And apparently others, e.g., Bob R., can't either.

Maybe you should write a book?
