Here's an idea. It's similar to something I did in 1992 -- before
there was a web -- but it ought to work. I haven't tried it.
Make separate versions of each graphic -- with the same name and in
parallel directories. Have Frame import graphics from one directory
and WWP replace them from the other.
If you can't make WWP do that (I just got version 4 and haven't
studied the manuals), rename the graphics directories manually,
*before* the conversion. If you rename them after the conversion,
you may have to move other graphics manually, because WWP may place
graphics from the document in the same place as graphics from the
website template.
You can extend this idea. You can have different sets of graphics
for different viewing resolutions, and program your starting page to
detect the user's viewing characteristics and supply graphics from
the appropriate directory. ...RM
