In FH V7 to show missing links the Tools > External File Links... dialogue has a Show Broken Links Only option.
In FH V6 you have to scan through the File LInks to spot the three X marks that replace the media icon.
Alternatively, open the Media Window and set the Media List: droplist option to New/Unlinked Media.

I'm not sure what would cause the vertical Navigation Bar icons to be so small, especially if the horizontal toolbars are OK.

Thanks Mike,

It appears that there are other elements of the display that are not big enough for my tired eyes to see! I found the three crosses as you suggested, and it turns out that they are duplicate media records in alternative formats (jpg, jpeg, pdf) and not linked to any of the records anyway. I've deleted them, so that's one bit of tidying up taken care of. I went into the preferences>display dialogue and increased the toolbar size from medium to big but nothing happened. It's no big deal. When I have gained a bit more confidence in the app running on Windows on the Mac, I will upgrade to FH7 and look at it again from there. Thanks again for your help.

Worth keeping an eye on FH v7 and windows emulators WARNING (18285) before you upgrade to V7
