re-using paragraphs in Unstructured FrameMaker

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hello Ray

Text insets are your only option.

But since you ask about storing all the reusable pieces in one document, you can do that. Add each reusable piece to a separate flow in the one document (using a meaningful name for each flow). Then when you insert the text inset into your container doc, specify which flow you want to insert. Remember that you have to insert the whole flow, so you must store each piece in its own flow. I believe you can have up to about 255 flows in a single doc.

Hope this helps.
Roger

Subject: re-using paragraphs in Unstructured FrameMaker

Are there any tricks to pull in a paragraph  (e.g. a note) into several documents for re-use beside using Text Insets?  I'd like to put all these re-usable paragraphs in one document and then  pull specific paragraphs into other documents -- similar to what you can  do with the conref mechanism in DITA XML.  
Any ideas welcome.
